Snowy Surprise

We all awoke to a wonderful wintery snow. It was almost three inches of snow and it was hanging on the trees beautifully. So right after breakfast we all headed outside to play. First we shoveled the cement in front of the garage. Then we went for a walk to get the mail. Grace was excited to ride in the sled again this winter, but she is getting pretty heavy for our half mile walk on the driveway. Noodles too enjoyed the walk in the snow. After a big hour, Grace was ready to come in, but the boys stayed out until noon when I called them in for lunch.

While on their own outside they worked to find a way to go sledding. Unfortunately our hills are not steep enough for sledding. Samuel tried tying Noodles to a sled to get a ride, but eventually the rope broke. Isaak tried going over the edge of our retaining walls, but thankfully I caught him first and put a stop to that. As the winter goes on, we pile snow next to the retaining walls to make a hill so that is why he thought of that, but there isn't enough snow for that yet.
