Sledding Party

Because of all this wonderful snow, I quickly threw together a last minute sledding party with some neighbors and friends. My sis and family were here so I thought it might be fun for them to enjoy the festivities as well.

After a few runs, the snow was packed down enough to make for some fun sledding. It was quite the workout trudging up the hills though, especially in areas that had not been groomed. The snow was at least 2 feet deep if not more in some areas. Whew, what a workout.

We enjoyed soup and cocoa and brownies and Daryl made a fire in the outdoor fire pit. Many of us were huddled around the campfire trying to stay warm when not sledding. It was a beautiful day for the party: blue sky, sunshine, but only 12 deg. BRRRRR. Thank goodness for the fire!


It may not look that exciting, but it's very very fast. YIKES!

You do such fun things! Come live in my neighborhood. I saw on the news that all of your snow is gone now with a one day warm up. Are you sad to see it go?
