Winter Fun!

With several more inches of snow the kids have spent hours and hours sledding down our hill and being pulled behind the 4wheeler on a sled! Many trips up and down the hill wears them out sufficiently but they have so much fun in the process.

Snowboarding is also great fun and is more of a challenge than sledding since the object is to see if they can actually stay standing all the way to the bottom of the hill. I usually hear the reports of who made it all the way down at the end of the day!

The kids also spend many hours riding around the yard behind the 4-wheeler on a sled. I remember spending plenty of hours doing the same thing when I was a young girl! Oh, the sore behinds from being pulled over rocks poking through the driveway, but nothing stopped us from zipping around the yard, flying around corners, and leaping over the snow berms behind the 4-wheeler.

The temperatures dipped to 1 degree this morning at our house. We could feel the added chill in the house this morning and put on extra sweaters as we began our school day. No matter how cold it is outside the sun eventually warms the house as it comes up. The clear blue skies on a crispy cold day are amazingly beautiful!
