sledding

We've had 2 snow days in one week! In order to take full advantage of a 2nd snowfall, Ben took the boys to a "top secret" sledding hill with his buddy, Brett. It may be freezing outside, but when the boys came home, there was no complaining on their part. They loved it. And, if we get another snowfall, we know where to take them!

*The "hill" is, in fact, just a road. But, living here in Va Beach, we don't have very many hills to slide down. Actually, we don't have any hills to slide down. {unless you count the overpasses.}

*There may not be a lot of snow, but we take what we can get! This was a pretty good snowfall for one afternoon!

*If we don't have sleds, we improvise.....with boogie boards. When the Preston was talking about sledding today, he said, "We can ride on our boogie boards and go real fast!" And Parker had to ask me, "Mom, what is the thing we slide down the hill with? Oh yeah, sleds."

  1. That's great!!!

    We have plenty of snow, but it's just too cold. With it topping out at 30 degrees and a cool wind, there's now way I'm leaving the house!!! Especially with a baby in tow. :)

  2. This is the best video ever. How cute that you guys figured out a way to have the most fun on a unusual snowy day here in Virginia. The kids looks like they had a ball. The men looked pretty happy themselves. What a treat.

    OOXX

  3. Hahahaha! Classic! "Sledding" down the road on boogie boards! Only in Va Beach :) Seriously, though, that looks like fun! Too bad they won't open up Mt. Trashmore, huh? :P
