A Nice GOOD Snow, January 20, 2012

Finally, we had a nice good snow!! Fresh enough to really enjoy, and eat, if that's what you like to do. While I was out shoveling the driveway, Taylor shoveled a little, then played a lot.
I got down my first sled for Taylor to play with. A saucer from back in 1973 (maybe, I'm not sure if that's the actual year). As I was piling up a nice mound from our driveway, Taylor was trying to slide down it.
This was worked okay for awhile, but it was a little hill.
However, she was having a lot of fun, and well bundled.
She is actually praying and thanking God for all our snow.
She is such a sweet heart!!
Once I finished with all the shoveling I told her we would hike over to the golf course and see about some better sledding.
It's an amazing view! One of the reasons we bought our first home here. When we first moved in, I would go cross country skiing on the golf course.
There are some pretty big hills, but I didn't want to send Taylor down one of those.
We found a couple of nice hills for her to sled down and we did that repeatedly...
Until it started getting dark. We walked home in the dark and I was really wishing I had a little rope tied to that sled so I could pull her home, because she was pretty tired.It was so much fun!! We were so thankful for the snow.
The little saucer would turn a bit (sometimes) as she was heading down the hill, which she didn't like too much, but she still had a wonderful time. Unfortunately, the snow didn't last. We did get a new sled, not shaped like a saucer, which will be lots of fun the next time we get enough snow to really play in, we look forward to that, next Winter.
