Snow Day!

We have had our 3rd official "Snow Day" of the year as of today. The first one was in December and we had no boots or snow pants so we did not venture outside. The second one was last Tuesday and Nora had a bladder infection. Today we PLAYED!! We got some boots when we were in Chicago over Christmas and Mimi, our baby sitter, gave us some snow pants that her girls had outgrown. We were ready for the snow.
I was a little nervous to take her outside considering as soon as we got outside last year she started to scream. This year was different...she LOVED it!!! I was excited! She walked mostly on the driveway and a little in the yard, but not too far. We were out long enough that I could get the driveway shoveled. She had fun with playing with Staley in the yard while I worked and she kept throwing snow at him, which was pretty darn funny. He would just run after it and she would just laugh.
We went back inside and Aunt Boo called to see if we wanted to go to Pappy's house and go sled. So we packed everything up and went. She wasn't really to keen on the idea of sledding or sliding. My dad has a pretty good hill next to his house so I she had to go down at least one time. The top pic is of Nora and Aunt Boo walking to the top of the hill. She really does not like to walk in the snow. I think it just has to do with the fact that it is hard to do.

Here they are at the top of the hill. She didn't like it so much and after one time down she was done. It is a pretty fun hill. I went down a couple of times on an inner tube and because this snow is so light it made the tube go fast. It was fun. Nora was done so we went home and now she is napping! What a great snow day!
