Super Sledding...

Today was an awesome day for sledding. Our church was cancelled due to the road conditions so we spent a lot of time outside today. We headed out around 10:45 am and started on the hill beside our house. Then, we heard that the hill down the street was even better with less cars coming through. So, we drove down to check it out. We spent most of the day down there and it was super sledding. We headed in around 1:15 for some lunch and Riley went to a birthday party and Tony headed up to his store to check things out. When they got back home we headed out again around 5 pm after eating some snow cream - YUM! The snow plows came through around 3 pm and then the roads were all ice. So, again we started on our hill and it was amazingly slick and fast. Tony was using his old wooden sled with runners that he had as a kid. It was awesome. Tony and Riley ended up all the way down our road to the next intersection. They would have kept going if there was ice but the snow plows were able to clear the intersection well so there was nothing left. Once it got dark, our neighborhood arranged a gathering down at the big hill for sledding and they had a fire going in a firepit on one of the corners. It was very dark so it made sledding even more exciting. We had to put some adults on car patrol because it was so dark. Tony and I went down once together and I don't think I have ever gone so FAST! It was awesome until we crashed at the end and Tony landed on me. ;) Regan and Tony also went together and they were also going very fast and crashed too. But, Regan got up and wanted to do it again. We ended up staying until about 7:00 pm. We are all exhausted, sore, and wind burned now. We are very thankful that school got cancelled tomorrow so we can sleep in. Well, at least us girls can, poor Tony has to go to work. It was a very fun weekend and nice to have Daddy home to enjoy it with us. It will be sad to see this snow go! The hill by our house.

Regan still going....

Here is the BIG hill -- Oh no a car!!!

Daddy and Riley about to head down.

This was the happening hill in our neighborhood today. Lots of people.

Riley and Tony running up the hill because they can't wait to do it again.

Walking back up the hill each time was work.

Riley and Avery Williams got in a big snowball fight with Tony. So, Riley and Avery got smart and hid behind these bushes.

Here is a video of Daddy and Reece going down the hill. Reece screamed the whole way but loved it. Tony said she was grinning at the end and wanted to do it again.
