Happy Belated Valentines day!

Basically the title says it all! Happy Belated Valentines day! Well here for us we had a great valentines day because we finally got our first big snowfall and we got a snow day which mean't No school, yay! All day long all the neighboorhood kids including me were outside sleding. At one all of us ventured over to a very steep road that we were able to sled down because will all the icy snow on the roads no cars could even get up that hill, so we were fine. After that we all went over to the Parker's house and had hot chocolate and made some valentines for our mom's and dad's! Here are some pictures of the ones I made! :)

As I mentioned before this snow was VERY ICY. Thats because it basically was ice. It looked like snow but if you looked very close it was all ice pellets. Well the after math of this snow left us with a sheet of very hard packed snow/ice. Its really cool because with this kind of snow/ice you can walk all over it and it will still look perfect and untouched. Well since the aftermath of this snow was hard and very icy it made for some wicked sleding conditions in the days after. Yesterday (saturday) Allison, Tate, Jenny, and I went down to a local park with some friends of theirs and went sledding. Because the snow was basically a sheet of ice the sledding was CRAZY. At all times we had to have adults standing at the bottom of the hill to dive (litteraly) for the kids so we wouldn't end up in the roads. Because the snow was so icy the sledding was really fast and the ice at the same time made it really hard to stop. Overall though we had a blast!
