Snow Day 2

We are still cooped up and enjoying our snow days! Tuesday we ventured down the road and tried some sledding down a great hill in our neighborhood. We have some friends who brought some cool homemade sleds since none of us own actual sleds. Super fun!
In these pictures, I would like you to notice the road. We are sledding in the middle of the road on ice-covered snow. Atlanta doesn't really have snow plows to clear the roads, which is mainly why we've had three consecutive snow days - the city really shuts down due to the roads being undriveable. And every night, it freezes again, so the next day they are awful again.



Zachary & his favorite friend Kayla. So cute! See the sled? Homemade and completely functional!
This is Allie & Zachary free-stylin' it down the hill. They were laughing so hard and having a great time! Zachary's sledding on a piece of linoleum, which was super fast and never stayed straight, so he was twisting around like a Tea Cup at Disney. It was a lot of fun! Allie is on a tupperware lid, which definitely wasn't as good as the other 'sleds.'

After the sledding, we had hot chocolate while the kids watched movies and the grown ups played games. Good day!

So much fun!
I remember for one of my birthday parties in elementary school we had a sledding party. It was my favorite one ever! I love the sleds...we did the tupperware tops too!

Todd, did you grow some facial hair in that picture sledding with Zach?
