Sledding....

I just got back from sledding with Will, Jaime, and Dad over on that big ol' hill by the tennis court. It was pretty fun. Seems like 9 out of 10 times I ended up hitting a bump somewheres near the bottom and tumbling over the sled. Will even ran over me once!!

Me and Will, we were going side by side. I got ahead, and somehow my sled turned off in front of his. We were going, going, going, and then all of a sudden my sled gets stuck in the snow, Will's sled gets lodged up under mine, and the next thing I know snow was flying over my face. Will must have been thrown over me. Yeah... Kind of scary.

Sledding

We went sledding down this awesome hill around the block yesterday and the day before. It was sooo fun! The first time especially 'cause we could go faster and farther. Boy, was it fun! And it was really great because it's within walking distance from our house, and there was like nobody there except for some kids who live in the house across from the hill.

They came out to try to sled with some bucket lids and trashcan tops and stuff lol. It didn't work too well, so we just shared our 3 sleds with them. I had to give 1 of the kids, a boy around 7 or 8, my extra pair of gloves 'cause he didn't bring any. Then later when he went in, this girl who was somewhere around 10 or 11 wanted them. It was a good this I brought an extra pair!

For part of the time Will used an old skateboard with no wheels and shoes attached to try to snowboard down the hill. He did pretty good too!

We had alot of fun! Here, I'll post some pictures below. Ugh! Sorry, but the photos might take a while....there are 886 uploading so could be a half and hour or so...oh well, I'll post 'em when they're uploaded and all.

Okay got the pics. Here they are!

It Snowed!!!!

We finally got a good snow down here! 9 inches! It's awesome. We actually just came in at around 12:00 or 12:30. It was awesome out there. I think it's still snowing a little bit.

We had a blast! We threw snowballs. (At one point, we kids ganged up on Dad.) Jaime tackled me after I threw a snowball her way.

We also went sledding down this hill into the ditch in our back yard. there's this big pile of leaves and all at the bottom so... Yeah, it was awesome. Will tried to snowboard down the hill. He actually made it down a few times. I didn't do so well. I kept leaning back too far and falling backwards. The sledding was fun, though, except that there was this big, old hunk of wood out there that kept making me fly up in the air every time I went down. Lol.

Hopefully the snow on our road'll get a little more packed in so that we can sled down there too. The snow's a little too powdery right now.

One of these'm days I'll get the pictures on here, but I just don't feel up to it right at the moment. =D

Ok I am now up to posting the pics. (March 21st) Here they are.

In the beginning, it began to snow, and the kids saw that the snow was good....

...And they made snowballs...

....To throw at each other...

...And the dog came out and saw that the snow was ~~ C-O-L-D ~~

...It continued to snow all through the night....

....Until the ground was entirely covered in snow the next day....

...And the kids had a blast playing in it for the short time it lasted...



~~~THE END~~~
