More Snow...or really Ice

This past weekend we had our second winter weather.  This time it was not the fun dry fluffy snow like last time - it was definitely mainly ice this time.   But as we learned, ice makes for GREAT sledding.   We usually use our little hill in the backyard.  But the ground was so icy and the sledding so fast, there was not room in our yard...unless you like flying full speed into the house.  Which is not as fun as it sounds!

So the girls and I loaded up and drove over to our local elementary school to sled down a giant hill - seriously at least 60 feet.  It was AWESOME!!  I had so much fun.  So much so that when D got home from running (only 18 miles in the ice) that I made us all load up and go sled again!

Here are pics (can you tell that I am a little obsessed with the snow too!) and hopefully a video or two too:

 HUGE hill.  Fortunately there were steps off to the side.  This was the first trek back up - and sadly when they finally got to the top and put the sled down, it flew all the way back down! 

Getting ready to sled.  Audrey enjoyed it just a bit more as she is our natural daredevil!

 Fun in the snow!

 This was their idea to ride with Daddy backwards down the hill!  Crazy!!

Munching on some ice as a little snack

Here are the videos.  They look a little funny cause they were taken with my camera and I guess when they are converted/uploaded they are very skinny.  The first is D sledding with Audrey and the second is Brooke sledding by herself.
