sledding fun

While we were visiting our families over break we took some time to play outside in the snow. Friday afternoon we played outside at Grammie's house.

Mikayla takes a few minutes to want to play so she just sat on the sidewalk until she was really ready to start playing.

 Jennifer on the other hand was very excited to get outside and play. She did a little rolling in the snow.

 And of course she can't go long without wanting to have a snowball fight!

 Mikayla getting pulled on the sled and of course the dog was never too far behind.

 Bill made a path for the kids to go down on with the sled.

 Mikayla could have cared less about going down the hill on the sled but dad thought he would take her, it didn't go so well as Mikayla was slipping off the front of the sled.

 I was a mean aunt and mom and made the kids all sit together so I could get a picture of them all together. It didn't last too long, there was too much playing to be done.

 Saturday morning we were at Mama and Papa's house and we got a little more outside time in while we waited for Ben and Conner (and their parents) to get there.

Mikayla thought it was pretty great to just pull around the sled on this day. She didn't really care about riding as much as just pulling.

 Jennifer on the other hand was loving to be whipped down the street.

 Mikayla did manage to get a few rides in but then she was back to pulling her sled.

 Bill's goal was to see how far he could get Jennifer to go, which Jennifer was thinking it was pretty great to whiz down the road. She made it a long ways!

Even though it was freezing out, it was fun to spend some time in the snow with family!
