Down, Down, Down, Down, Down

Well if you didn't hear over the weekend, the East Coast got slammed with yet another snow storm. My parents always find it amusing to watch the pre-storm preparations and how crazy people get around here. Instead of heading to the store for bread and milk, my parents headed to the store to buy me a big yellow sled. They have no intentions of staying indoors watching it snow. Like all the others, they realize that on the East Coast, snow doesn't happen too often and you must take advantage when you can and wish for a snow day when it does!

Friday night I headed to bed with dreams of snow flakes. Saturday I woke up to snow flakes (dreams do come true)! By the afternoon the snow had stopped, but it was pretty chilly out because the wind was blowing. That didn't stop me though, I headed right out the front door, down my steps and into the snow-filled yard. My dad had made a little bump for me to test out my sled. He also pulled me around the driveway, sliding me from one end to the other.






Sunday warmed up to a balmy 35 degrees and was filled with lots o' sunshine. We headed over to the local sledding hill at the high school and picked out a nice slope that wasn't too steep for this little one. We had a great time, until I hit a bump, rolled over in my sled and sat upright with a face full of snow. My mom thought it was hilarious, I not so much. After that, I pretty much wanted to stomp around in the snow or ride down with her. My new sled can not be trusted! I also learned that I can eat snow; it's so tasty!









Wednesday we're supposed to get another big storm, so we're hoping for a snow day. And this weekend we're heading up to Vermont for a long weekend. That is after I get my tubes inserted on Thursday. We plan on heading over to Lincoln, NH to test out the Tots sledding hill. More on that to come...
