Snow #3


This guy is ready to play in the snow!!!!!!!!!!!!

Let me back up a few days.  Thursday night brought about 3-4 inches of snow which continued through the day Friday for a total of 10 inches.  So, we played and went sledding on Friday as it continued to snow. 

It was powdery snow.  But once we made a few runs on the slick sleds, we got some good speed going all the way from the propane tank in the front yard to the back edge of the woods. 
Mom taught Joe how to do 360's on the snow with the sled...to his GREAT delight and giddy laughter.

Then, we got a dusting of snow Sunday. 

So, Joe tried the snowboard Monday...and was successfully traveling about 15 yds staying up.  And, of course, we tried to blaze some new trails with the slick sleds.   Joe even would sled down ahead of Josh and then hop off and try to tackle Josh (who wasn't moving as quickly) while Josh was sledding by.  (which Joe thought was hilarious)

And...we got another 1-2 inches Monday night.  So, we managed to do some school this morning and now the boys are braving the colder wind yet again for another fun day in the snow!  I think they are beginning to understand that snow here isn't usually like TN where it melts by mid-morning!  :)
