I was beginning to get cabin fever and feeling stuck in a rut. So after my morning shift, I came home, woke the teenager and announced we were all going sledding. It was awesome outside, 34 degrees and romantically foggy. To my delight, DH joined us and to my amazement, no one got hurt! We had the hill to ourselves, and we all raced down several times.
I discovered a great way to avoid a back injury is to ride down feet first, on your belly. This worked great for me until the sled turned 180 degrees, and I ended up going down the hill face first! How I avoided a white wash, I don't know.
The sledding turned a bit commando when we discovered it was great fun to throw snowballs at who ever was riding down the hill at the moment. You think it would be easy, but you have to account for speed and distance when you pitch.
After sledding we came home and made snow creatures, using natural materials we could find in the yard. The snow was perfectly packy, yet heavy.
All the fresh air and exercise felt great. Now I think I'll throw some chicken in the crock pot for supper and try and have a relaxing afternoon.

Sledding always looked fun. We don't have any hills where we live. Glad you were able to get out + spend it with your family
Dawn that sounds like so much fun. What a wonderful way to spend the day with the family. Having the hill all to yourselves, you lucked out. Enjoy the rest of the day.
Wow Dawn that sounds great!!
What fun!!
Looks like great fun !!
I remember playing in the snow when I was growing up. It was always so much fun! :) Of course getting dressed and undressed was labor intensive, but all worth it in the mind of a kid. We had LOTS of snow back then. Now, living in the south, I get excited by if we see a couple of inches of slushy snow......Flakes cause me to squeal. :)
Glad you guys had such a good time.
