SLEDDING! :)

So the weather folks weren't kiddin' when they told us we'd get snow last night. I woke up this morning to let the pups out, and this is what we had:

goooood morning! 

yes, that's right. 10 inches on the patio table!

just in case ya didn't believe me... haha

Haha. So much for the light flurries we've had up to this point! I know I'm not alone in that I was pretty excited to see this much snow on the ground; I am pretty sure it's because we didn't have to go anywhere, and had the day at our leisure.

I whipped up scrambled eggs while Rob took care of the turkey bacon... topped it off with some fruit & toast and we were all set. The boys bundled up and headed out in search of sleds - it's funny because we did the exact same thing last year when Jesse came to visit. We wound up that time building a fort and a snowman in the front yard, which worked out just fine. This year though, we were determined to do some sledding.

They did their duty of hunting down some sleds, and before long, we were out the door and off to Stanbery Park just down the road. The place was packed with others who'd had the same idea, so we joined in and indulged our inner child as Sydni led the way.

before & after :) haha

love this girl! 

The guys thoroughly enjoyed themselves, too!

And then Sydni and I took a few runs:


This is the first time Rob & I have gone sledding together. I was reminded today that you are never too old for some good old fashioned sled-riding. Amen?!

And you're never too old to make snow angels, either! ♥

Sydni was a champ today, taking on the big hill by herself at least three times once she got comfortable in the sled. Jesse & Rob of course had a snowball fight and we eventually managed a group photo.

had a blast! 

We made a quick stop at the store for some chicken noodle soup ingredients, and before we made it home, we had a sleeper on our hands ;)

zonked!

What a blast we've had so far today! We're home now, bellies full, sledding completed, and three rambunctious pups to go along with the energy Syd brings to the table. It's a mad house in here, and I don't know that I'd have it any other way.

What an awesome Saturday!
