Sledding

Ice and light snow covered the Dallas Ft. Worth area today with wind gusts of 50mph. The temperature stayed in the low teens with wind chills below 0. Local schools were closed, and the kids had a chance to take a break from school and enjoy the slippery situation.

John Chris stayed home and had a bit of cabin fever, so we drove around the neighborhood. (Something about a vehicle with 4 wheel drive makes guys feel like they can conquer the world.) As we made the block, we spotted a bunch of kids sliding down a hill. John Chris wanted to join in the fun, so we headed home to prepare ourselves.

He thought the wheel barrow bucket would make a great sled, so he unbolted the bucket from the frame. I dressed Ryland in the warmest things I could find, and we headed out to have some fun.

All smiles and giggles, as the boys slide down the hill in the bucket. Even though is was freezing out, I am so glad we took the chance to get out of the house and play. After a handful of slides down the hill, we decided we were frozen.

We jumped back in the truck where it was warm and toasty to head home for hot chocolate.
