The Big Snow 2010 (Day 1)

I am still floored at how very different snow can be from time to time! This snow was fluffy for the first few inches, but then was packed down under a few inches of sleet. The result was snow that was fabulously fast for sledding (but not so good for doing anything else). Today was truly a sledding day. It was my favorite sledding ever, . . . it wasn't as deep as last time (about 5 inches), and we didn't need as steep of an incline to go fast. We slid right down our snow-covered road! Once we made a snow track, it was like a roller coaster over and over again. SO FUN!!! With our brand new blow-up snow tubes and a jump rope we made "The Family Toboggan" and we slid down the road as a family over and over again! It was so much fun! Annie, who was a little skooch today, ; ) got the best of it. I don't think she ever walked up the hill once herself, . . . we were always pulling her behind, . . . with her maxing and relaxing on the tube, sucking down sleety snow to drink. ; )

What fun!!! We didn't get the sleet snow -- well, not enough of it to make a difference for sledding!

Oh, yeah... You wanted me to note your jacket! I didn't notice; then remembered, so had to look again. It is not very visible in any photo, so it escaped me. So glad you are enjoying it and have two coordinating dolls!!!
