This past Friday night when the snow storm was really coming in heavy, we decided to drive to our friend's house for dinner! (
Ok, it was only a few miles down the road and Jamie has four wheel drive... so no worries.) But I snapped a few photos while he drove. I like this next picture because it looks like the speed limit sign is buried high in snow!
And here was the main highway we were driving on- completely packed with snow, going down hill, over a bridge (we're idiots, I know).
Poor cows...
When we turned into Jim and Emily's subdivision it hadn't been driven on (who else was stupid enough to be out?) so it was just a field of white level snow. We couldn't tell where the streets to the subdivision were or where to drive- we had to guess by the street signs and how the house fronts were facing!
Anyways, all this snow made for some good times in sledding with our
neighbors. Audrie was a not a big fan of sledding, but here is Jamie trying to
convince her it was going to be
ok.
The hill everyone was sledding on was pretty steep though. I was with Audrie on this one, "no way!".
But she did go down the hill a few times with Jamie. I was proud of her.
Her cheeks got a little pink from the cool air so we didn't stay out too long.
It was fun to hang out with our neighbors for a little while though. (And my neighbor, Gina, took the rest of these photos.)
We do have a pretty great hill for sledding!
It's hard to tell from the photo but the hill is so steep it actually disappears from sight for a few feet (and is no fun to climb back up!).
Even if it was cold, it was nice to be outside for a little fresh air.

I actually went down once, too. Don't tell my baby doctor! :)
Audrie got pretty tired so we headed back inside to warm up.
I'm sure next winter when Audrie is a little older, she'll be a little more excited about sledding. But we had fun this time and thanks again, Gina, for all the pics!
