We've survived the epic winter storm of '08. Actually, we only got about 3 inches, but I know that north of here near the state line had a foot or more. Ugh. I heard the icy sleet hitting the windows around 5am, and the snow is definitely heavy. It's literally the consistency of a snow cone. Great for snowmen and snowballs, horrible for shoveling. Emerson received an early Christmas present today...her first sled. We bundled her up in many layers and hit the yard. This was her first time really playing in the snow. She's touched it and been out for a few minutes here and there, but we were out for a 1/2 hour or so today. SO FUN! {I love how the falling snowflakes look like tiny glowing orbs in these pictures}
Notice the "rope" on the sled. It's an extension cord. Our rope is buried under the snow in the shed. I wish Jeff could have known my Grandpa Sorren...they would have gotten along great!
Whoa...easy does it, Mama! Small person on board! She managed to stay in though.
Emerson was instantly in love with sledding and perhaps has a future as a sled dog musher...she kept shouting "go, go, go!!!" the WHOLE time she was being dragged around. And I have to say that pulling a 26+ pound kiddo around while running through the snow in sweats and a heavy coat is a WORKOUT!! This makes my 12 miler seem a bit easier tomorrow morning!
