Snow, snow, and more snow...

Well the warm weather didn't last for long, but it's been pretty cool to get one last (hopefully) really good snow...it's about a foot or more at our house so it's a really big snow for us. Grammy called all over town yesterday looking for a sled (Addi has outgrown her little red one and passed in on to Jake) but no luck...they are sold out everywhere! If only we had a truck full of them...I could sit out in Kroger parking lot and sell them all day long... Anyway, with no sled she and Mallory just played outside in it for a while yesterday and then made snowcones (which were really good). Then this morning Granddad called and we went out to their house for a fun afternoon out in the snow. He pulled all the kids on an inner tube tied to the back of his 4 wheeler and everyone had a ball (well most everyone had a ball - Aunt Cyndi got a little bit run over by the 4 wheeler when Granddad was trying to get unstuck and didn't see her behind him - oops, but she's okay thankfully :) )

Here's the photo shoot from the day...

Jake (aka Randy from "A Christmas Story" - I'm sure you can see the resemblance)...at least he could put his arms down... :)
James and Jake and Addi on Granddad's snow tubing contraption...in case you were wondering, the plywood apparently acts a shield to protect the riders from flying snow... (like that's your worst danger when you're out on that thing! :)
Granddad gearing up to take the girls for a ride...watch out Aunt Cyndi! :)
Addison Kate...our little snow angel...

Granddad, Bama, Addi, and Jake...

Haha that innertube contraption (sp) looks fun, we ended up using a the lid to our pool toy bucket as a sled =] we will be sure to buy some sleds before next year..

The tube...looks like something my dad would put together, that I'd be appalled by and in the end I'd have a blast on it with or without kids!
