Sledding

The girls have been out of school since last Friday as we experience record setting snow falls in northern VA. There have been several cold and windy days, but on Monday there were blue skies and it was gorgeous. We made it down to the elementary school in our neighborhood which has a great sledding hill. The girls had a blast sledding and also enjoyed seeing a lot of their school friends!

The Federal Government has had 3 snow days! That is evidence of just how bad the roads are around here. The main issue in DC is that we've had so much snow so quickly that they just don't have anywhere to put the snow on the narrow city streets. Currently they are plowing and trucking loads of snow and dumping it under bridges.
We bundled Morgan up and took her out so we could get a few pictures. Unfortunately, it was just a few minutes before her nap and she wasn't too thrilled!
We ran into one of Brooke's preschool buddies, Connor. She was nervous to sled but once she saw Conner and his double sled she was suddenly brave.
Even a face full of snow didn't stop her!
Baileigh...watching the girls sled took me back to my winters in MI as a kid. So fun to see them enjoying themselves so much!
My wild child...this kid aimed for every jump that had been built and could be heard screaming with joy by everyone.
