Playing in the Snow Virginia Style

The day we got back from New York we were surprised to find that it had snowed at home.  Snow is not a totally common thing here.  The girls were so excited to go out and play!  We got them all dressed up in their warm clothes, gave them some spoons and bowls to dig in the snow, and sent them out to play.  Much to our surprise the snow was rock hard!  Along with the snow had come lots of rain (not uncommon for Virginia) and with the cold temps, it turned the snow into a sheet of ice!

But that didn't stop the girls from having fun!


Who needs a sled when you have an older sister!
They spent hours out "sledding" on the hill!  They even did some the next day, but by the third day it was all completely melted.
Well, it was fun while it lasted!

Wow that does look slick. Nice to have a hill right in your back yard.
