Today, we played in the SNOW!

This morning, I got a call from our friend Charles, telling me that there is a hill of snow at one of the parks. There was a Christmas in the Park type even last night, and one of the things the city does is make a snow hill for sledding. Since it was cold last night, the now stayed, and we got to enjoy it this morning, minus the lines!
Elizabeth remembers snow from last year at Grandma's house. She found a box, put it at the top of the hill, smiled for her picture, and off she went! We learned pretty quickly, though, that the boxes were too wet. So, we got this bucket from out of the van, and that went much faster! She was very excited to find this big "snowball". However, she didn't eat it because, "it was too dirty!" She is, after all, an expert at these things! Just ask!
Elizabeth tried running down the hill to slide on her bottom. Obviously, that didn't work!
Micah got some speed going down the hill this time! He was torn between the playground that was so close to the hill and the snow.

He had lots of fun sledding, and did a really great job helping to push his sister down the hill when it was her turn on the "sled".What a cutie, even with snot!
This picture was taken right after Benjamin touched the snow for the first time. I don't think he realized that it was going to be cold!
Benjamin went down the hill twice. He wasn't a big fan, but thought it was okay.


Benjamin had a lot more fun playing at the playground!

We're cold, we're tired, and we want to go home!

Wow! When I first saw this I thought it might be a flashback from last year when you went to see your folks but then I saw the boys and realized it was this year - present day!! Crazy fun!!!
