Sledding in the Snow!

While we were in Indiana, we got a LOT of snow. So, of course, we HAD to go sledding. We brought our big sled that holds 3 kids comfortably and headed outside. It was cold, but not too cold, so the kids were able to go outside and spend time out there for quite some time.

Here are the kids getting ready to race down the driveway. Uncle S and Aunt C live on a caul-d-sac so this was a fun and safe past time.

Here they are in the caul-d-sac. I'm not sure who won, but I'm also not sure it really mattered, unless you're Mr. Man!

Everyone was having lots of fun, until daddy realized that something was feeling terribly wrong. He looked down at his foot and realized that he had one major "blow out." The entire sole of his boot had fallen off. So, after a quick change of boots, the fun was back on!

SNOW!!!!!

Here is daddy pulling the girls up the sledding hill behind the house.

Ok, everyone's ready to go. Lined up and ready for the race!

After the race. It wasn't until I went down there to get someone that I realized that the snow was covering a big mess of water that was just laying there. Luckly, all of the kids had on lots of clothes and didn't get wet.

Chase HAD to be in on the action.

If you know the Johnson boys at all, you know that they LOVE to be in on the action as well. So here is Uncle S ready to go down the hill with his girls. Daddy...will you please give them a push?!

Snow angel time.

Then we realized that the play set hadn't been touched. Well, that just can't be! So, everyone hopped on. C was the first to go down the slide.

Miss M going down the slide. I'm not sure if it was because of the snow or the snow pants, but the kids just FLEW down the slide and right off the end of it. It looked like so much fun!

Cousin C going down the slide.

Well, sledding down the hill and playing on the swing set was fun and all, but how in the world can we top it? No problem...just take the mower blades off of the riding tractor, hook up the sled and go!

This provided hours of entertainment this day and 3 days following.

Not one to miss out, daddy hopped onto the back of the sled and Chase ran after everyone.

After coming in we decided to have game night. The "big" kids played Candy Land and Cousin B did a matching game with Grandma B.
Fun day was had by all.
We also had so much fun staying at Uncle S and Aunt C's house. Thanks for hosting us for a whole week! We miss y'all!!!
