At least it felt like a Snowmageddon to us, but I guess technically it was an ICEMAGEDDON! It was like dipping dots sprinkled 5 inches think EVERYWHERE! School and work were closed for three days and I felt like it would NEVER be safe to leave the house. And after all the neighborhood visitors to our super fun SNOW HILL my floors may never be the same. It was a three day parade of visitors at our house. We slid down the hill on everything from pool floats to garbage lids. If we thought it would slide FAST we gave it a try! (Fair warning, I have no idea why have of these pictures are SIDEWAYS!! UGHH! They are straight on my phone, computer and Facebook but after repeated attempts, I just can't figure this out! Seems like if it comes from my phone, it's going to be sideways!)
Alec and his friend Gracie
Mimi and Papa even brought some floats over and gave it a try!
The kids first look at the ice, they both decided it was COLD quickly and ran back inside. We kept waiting for snow, but after lunch this mess was piling up quickly so we put on our newly purchase from HUDSON'S ski clothes and headed out. We hardly came inside except for a quick warm up for three days!
Oh my, you can't even imagine how slippery the road was, so my three nuts each got on there four wheelers and did some sliding down the road, they were literally each sliding from one side of the road to the other!
Alec and Drew
Andy had a CRASH at the bottom!
There was always kids scattered around the yard!
Sister REALLY enjoyed it and even got up the nerve to slide down the hill a few times by herself!
Poor thing, she tried and tried to make a snow man and it just wouldn't stick together!
I CANNOT believe she did this! You can't imagine how fast she was going! I'm surprised someone didn't call child services!
This may be the one and only time my front porch needs snow shoveling! And someone PLEASE tell me how to help my poor SAGO's!! They just can't stand anymore of this weather! And here it is about to sleet again outside as I type this!!
Yes, this little jet side went down the hill really fast! And no, it didn't survive all of this fun!
Harley was a shivering mess but wanted to be out with everybody!
Sister even slide down on the four wheeler!
This was so fun, they did it over and over!!
I love their faces, you can tell there's a wreck coming!
These were such fun memories, I'm even putting together a little Shutterfly book for the kids, I hope they can remember our fun week for years to come! Oh and next time it snows, I WILL be prepared, I see some real plastic sleds in our near future!
