NEVER Too Old!

To say that my family and I had a BLAST playing in all the snow we got here at the beginning of last week is a complete understatement! We went sledding, threw snowballs at each other, and even built a 'modern' snowman. Thought I'd share some pictures! Hope you enjoy them!

Look at all the snow that piled up on our back deck!

Of course, I had to make a snow angel...a special request from my sweet bloggy friend, Naomi!

Chris and I went sledding even before the girls came out to join us! He looks like an excited little boy, don't you think?

I picked up some serious SPEED on the hill beside our house!

Abby went zipping down our backyard and landed in some briar bushes...OUCH!

There she goes flying down the road in front of our house!

Brittany couldn't resist taking Bella for a ride!

Bella hopped all over the place like a jackrabbit!

This was Maddie's idea of fun in the snow...having Brittany pull her around on the sled.

Here's the snowman the girls and I created. The snow wouldn't pack enough to be able to roll into giant snowballs, so we had to put the snow in a bucket and turn it upside down to make blocks. We stacked them on top of each other and this was the finished product.

Here's the three of us girls at the top of our hill with our house in the background.

I snapped this picture of a droplet of water about to freeze...I love the way it looks.

So, as you can see, we made the most of our big 'snow event' and it just goes to prove that you're NEVER too old to act like a kid, again!

April, who looks like a kid on a sled??? Chris... or YOU??? LOL! Oh, I loved seeing all of these shots. From the two of you looking like little kids to the kids and the dogs, every shot was great. I've decided I like Maddie's way of doing it. That would work for me. LOL!

XO,

Sheila :-)

Could not agree more!
Although, I had to look closely at Miss Bella's pic.... I thought, why did April take a pic of THAT??? ;)

Thanks for sharing.

Hi April
I really enjoyed your fun snowy pictures April. You have a great hill there for sledding.
I am giggling at your snowman. I have never seen one like that. Great idea to use buckets. He is the thinnest and most cross looking snowman I have ever seen!

That looks like SO much fun! I love your angry snow person! lol

Tim said...

Great pics. You look more like the kid than Chris though.

I wish we would have gotten some of that snow, just too far south I guess. It just NEVER snows here. Of course I guess it just never snows there either.

When it snows like that here they write books about it. LOL

Love and Prayers,

Tim

That looks like so much fun! We don't get snow here. I would love to go play in the snow for a day.

Those are great pictures! I am glad that y'all had a good time! You couldn't pay me to "play" out in that stuff! I was hoping we were done with snow but it looks like another storm is heading our way Tuesday....yuck!
