Snow Day

We finally got snow yesterday! Caden has been asking for snow to make a snowman for while now. So, on Tues. we were talking about it and I said we'll cross our fingers. When Jason got home from work, he asked Caden if we were going to get any, and Caden said, "fingers crossed." Here are a few pictures of our fun yesterday.

Posing with a very old snow tube (mine when I was a kid) and new boots (thanks Nana and Papa). Not sure why the eyes are closed.

Posing for a picture quick before they went down our yard for yet another run.
Jason barely fit in the tube.
Quick smile before heading down.
I know Caden asked for a snowman, but all I had energy for was a short, chubby bunny. I worked on that while they took their many trips down the hill.
Posing next to the snow bunny.

We figured out what our hilly backyard is good for:
(Please excuse the "whoas" coming from me. They went down faster than I thought they could. Caden didn't get scared at all. He had a great time, though he shouts out "careful" at one point.)

Looks like a good time! As soon as I saw the first picture of the Snow Tube I was thinking "Wow, they have not changed at all since I was a kid" then I saw it was from that long ago! I am impressed that someone saved it!(coming from someone who gets rid of everything and saves nothing almost to a fault at times=)

Looks like a good time was had by all, except mom, who was holding her breath the whole time they were sleigh riding down the hill. What a great experience, especially since they are using your old tube. I bet Caden is looking forward to more snow!
