sledding while we can
On Christmas day we met up with the Johnsons for a little bit of sledding. The days leading up to the 25th we got dumped with snow, so we wanted to make sure to take advantage of it. We got another foot on the 26th, but then a heat wave melted almost all of the snow. Now we’re back to ugly, brown grass. I’m sure we’ll get more snow soon.
Here we are snowed into our driveway, but our kind neighbor did the neighborly thing and snowblowed us out.
The girls had a blast trying out new moves–on their tummies, on their feet like sled-dogging, and even backwards.
Of course, the kids had to go down together.
Here’s the whole gaggle of kids, but this sled didn’t move very fast. At all. So it required multiple pushes down the slope.
Violet couldn’t stand just waiting around and watching. She wanted her turn down the hill and required lots of rides. We don’t have an actual snowsuit for Violet, so I put a larger, fleece sleeper over her clothes. It actually worked out quite well.
I can’t believe I’m saying this, but I hope we get more snow soon for the girls to keep sledding and playing in.
