sledding

The first and second day we had the snow we used our cookie sheets to go down the little hill in our front yard.  Heidi could not get enough and would have stayed out sledding for hours if it had been possible.  Savanna wasn't that interested in trying, but I don't know if a lot of that was because she wasn't feeling so great.  Friday night Heidi asked, "Do you think one day we could get a real sled so we don't have to use a cookie sheet?"  It made me laugh.

Sunday her dream of sledding on a real sled came true.  Our church was cancelled because of the roads, which is really kind of funny, but also makes sense since a lot of people live way out on iced over country roads or steep driveways where they really can't get out.  The ice here is a whole different thing especially because of all the steep hills and every time it melts, it would freeze over again at night.  Our good friends invited us over to sled with them at their place and of course we gladly went!  Heidi and Caimbree had SO MUCH FUN!  Caimbree did not want to get off the sled.  She also got to ride back up the hill so that was extra time on the sled.  Savanna went down one time with our whole family but that was all she wanted to do.  She sat in the warm truck for a good portion of the time and was perfectly fine with that arrangement.  Maybe next year she will be more interested in sledding.  We will definitely have to get the girls a sled of their own so if we ever get this much snow again we can take advantage of it!
