We haven't had school for two days, we went sledding yesterday, there's about six inches of snow on the ground, and it's STILL snowing! Could it get any better? Probably not.
Sledding yesterday was extremely fun, but extremely cold. My boots are a bit big for me, so snow gets in them and it only takes a few steps before my feet are freezing. After a few times down the hill, I warmed up in the van and put on my gracious mother's socks (mine were sopping wet). With moderately dry socks on, I was able to more fully enjoy the snow with my brothers, their friends Joseph, Jacob, Parker, his sister Lydia, and Sydney and her brothers (somehow, whenever we go sledding, we end up bringing half the neighborhood with us).
For some reason, sledding always turns into climbing on the snow drifts of the Coliseum's parking lot. It's actually very fun, and a few weeks ago we dug a tunnel through the top of a particularly large drift. This time we simply climbed on them (this was exceedingly difficult because the snow is very powdery, and when you take one step up the drift, you lose about four). The climbing turned into a snow fight, which turned into playing Lord of the Rings. The girls plus Luke were Rohan, and the boys were the Uruk-hai of Isengard.
By the end of the trip, we didn't want to leave (despite the fact that my feet and hands felt frostbitten). The cold soon went away after some chili and hot chocolate at Sydney's house.
Stay safe on the treacherous roads!
P.S. It's STILL snowing!
