On Tuesday, the kids did not have school. I'm not exactly sure why because the roads were not bad at all. It was the first 'snow day off' though and it made the kids excited. We started out being lazy and enjoying some good breakfast. Then we went to the library for some books. Hadassah's been begging for a good book. Then we went home for lunch and loaded up the snow clothes and sleds. I had called Katie Ann and asked if we could come sled on their hill? She said that we could come.
We got there and we bundled up really good. We headed for the hill but quickly realized that everything was frozen!!! We had to hang on to the fence to get to the hill area. :/ I was a bit uneasy because I didn't want to go a sliding and fall! I kept a hold of the fence and we made it to the sledding area. But that wasn't any better! The kids didn't mind a bit though! They loved it! It was a workout for them! It took lots of effort for them to get on their sleds and then make their crawl up to the top again! :)
Ashlyn loved it too until she lost her glove on a ride down. When her and Hadassah got to the bottom, they fell a couple of times just trying to get back up. That made her hand go into the snow and sudden freezing pains hit her hands! It was so, so cold! We finally got her to the fence and I slowly took her hand and walked toward the house. She cried the whole way there but when we got inside the house, the warmness warmed her right up. She was smiling before too long!
Matthew and Hadassah stayed out for a bit longer but because it was such hard work to get back up the hill, they finished the sledding rides early. It would be fun to go back when there's lots of fresh snow on the ground and not just an icy mess!
The fresh air and sledding was still fun and a memory! Thanks Katie Ann and kids for welcoming us to your sledding hill! :)
Matthew went flying down the hill and then he had to crawl his way back up.
