Snow Day!!

So the snow may be putting a damper on some of the holiday parties but who can complain when you can go sledding and toboganning? Yesterday was absolutely beautiful so we bundled Maddy up and decided to take her to the park across the street. For many days now people have found this one hill on the corner and played there all day and through the night. We don't have a sled but we thought Maddy would like to watch the kids going up and down. She didn't exactly enjoy the process of getting bundled up but once we were outside she was definitely intrigued by the white stuff.

Just as we were out in the driveway we saw Lucy (Maddy's daycare provider). They had been playing out for about 4hrs! The younger kids already went home, but Lucy was there with the last 2 who couldn't get enough.

Lucy offered to let us borrow their sled so we took Maddy over to the hill. It's quite funny to watch Maddy sit on the sled as we pulled her. I guess it's quite an abs work out to sit up straight. At one point I was pulling her back up the hill and she toppled over and out of the sled. She's such a trooper, she didn't cry and just lay there staring up at the sky. She had a look on her face as if to say, "What in the world are you people trying to do to me?" Josh and I took turns taking her down the hill. The first time she was sitting in between Josh's legs on the sled. I guess being so low she got all the snow spraying in her face. She looked like she wasn't impressed but again didn't fuss or cry. Then the second time I kept her higher up and went slowly down the hill. She didn't exactly squeal with delight but I guess cuz she was still getting over the whole facewashing thing. We can't wait to try again in Revelstoke.
