We had a blast playing in the snow yesterday! The kids could not wait to get home from school and get their clothes on to go outside. I opened the blinds and waited until Jeremy got home to take them out. We picked up Jay (his dad was still working and with a baby in the house, I knew his mom could not get outside to take him) and headed out to find some hills.
We started out at the hill right outside our door in the common area. It was a good first hill for the kids. Noah and Seth loved it but Jay was only interested in throwing snow balls at them...
Then we found a bigger hill....
We told the kids they could not go down it unless one of us was in the slide with them. Seth didn't listen (big surprise) and took off in the sled and right into a thorn patch. He freaked at first, mainly cause Jay and Noah said he was bleeding from his lip but the tough kid he was dug his head into the snow to stop the bleeding and then I'm not joking asked to do it again. We moved to another, safer hill.
And they all had a blast sliding down the hill! They said this is awesome about 5,000 times! I'm so glad I got to join in on the fun (and that the thorns did not seriously injure Seth).
