Snow Fun!

Our plan to take the girls skiing yesterday hit the rails when the weather gods dumped two feet of snow on our previously rather bare-looking hills. It would have been good skiing for me and Daddy-J, but the littles find large amounts of snow a bit, um, challenging.

So we decided to go sledding instead. Of course, at Casa Llamedos, sledding involves driving down the driveway in the plow truck, parking at the bottom of the driveway (which is the top of the sledding hill/road, sledding down the road to the bottom of the hill, and then hiking back up to repeat the whole thing. When we're done, we pile back into the back of the plow truck and drive back up the driveway.

After a couple of easy runs down the hill, Miss D decided to go it alone, managing to flip herself off the sled into a snow bank, coming up absolutely giddy! So then K-Wiggles tried the same maneuver, but managed to bank herself and the sled high on the side of the snow bank, landing safely back on the (snowy) road.

In the end, everyone had a good time (even M-Moo came out of the truck long enough to take a couple of runs).

And here is a shot of the three of them in the back of the pickup truck (taken from inside the truck cab, through the open rear window!):
