... And Snow And Snow

Guess what we woke up to?
  
More snow.

And there was much rejoicing.  Much colder today.  Wyatt checked the thermometer before breakfast at 24F (-4C), and by the time we ate our pancakes it was 20F (-6C), and still dropping.  But the forecast is for rain tomorrow, so we'll enjoy it while we can :D

Since we live on a Great Sledding Hill, people tend to congregate here.  See the moms, hanging out down in the intersection, making sure the kids and/or the traffic stops?



It's a race to the bottom!



This one - Emily - would rather dig into the bushes than race.



Oh how I love those pink cheeks!



For Tate, it's all about speed.



Wyatt wants air.



No Wyatts were harmed in the taking of these pictures.



Emma and Juliann were happily - if slowly - sliding to the bottom, munching on snowballs.



Yes indeed, Wyatt did go all the way down the hill like that.



I prefer this style.
He looks like Sean Connery doing James Bond.



Gunnar and William wanted to take the tube over the jump.



And they don't mind the chills and spills :D



But check this out... the moms aren't going to let the kids have all the fun!
Linda is in the lead, followed by Susy and the twins, with a grandma and grandson
close on her heels!



Go, Susy, go!



Wipe-out!

This reminds me of the one time we were in Colorado during Spring break. :) It's been in the 70's here - no winter precip predicted at least for the rest of January.
Have fun!
Blessings,

Great Wyatt photos!

I'm glad to see some moms join in the fun - it's something I'm going to do if and when I get to be in snow!!

Giving Wyatt a firm 9.7 for snow surfing style!

Oh my goodness, no Wyatts were harmed in the making of these photos - thanks for the morning chuckle! Hahaha!

Sledding is such great fun - we love snowy weekends because we go out and spend hours sledding. Snow, I love you for your early bedtimes, lol!
