More Snow Day pictures.

I wish I could have gotten more of Chloe on Wednesday but I just didn't have enough arms. Chloe, Caleb and I walked up the hill two houses over from us. At the end of the hill there is a cul-de-sac to the left and one to the right. So lots of kids were out. Most were at the house right at the top of the hill. They had smashed down the snow to make for easy sledding, as well as piling a bunch of snow in the middle of the driveway for a hill. So one of the kids let us borrow their sled. I pulled Chloe and Caleb up and they went down maybe 2 times. Then Caleb was done. He just wanted to chase their dog around. But Chloe she loves adventure, she's definitely braver than I. I pulled Chloe to the top of the driveway and turned her around and pushed her down the hill. She went the length of the driveway and would end up on the other side of the street. (the dad at the house was at the edge of the driveway watching for cars) Then once she would stop she would say I want to do it again. So I only have one picture of her because I couldn't push her down the driveway and take a picture.


The next pictures are from Chloe and my outing today. Caleb decided he did not want to go out in the snow. (I think if it wasn't blowing so much he would have been ok, but today it was snowing non-stop and blowing every which way)
First I pulled Chloe up the hill by our house in the large cooler that we have. With so much snow on the ground I had to pull her all the way down the hill- she didn't slide well. We went up the hill and down the hill 3 times. Then we decided to go for a walk. We walked to a park near our house (about 2 blocks away) Chloe loved running in the snow and plopping down wherever she wanted to make a snow angel. She also made mitten prints in the snow. Then we walked to the pond near the path to see if the ducks were still there. Amazingly enough all 30-40 ducks were still all there. They were all up on the sidewalk eating some bird food. I went to take a picture but my battery was dead. So I will try again another day.

Oh and tonight at 6:15pm I went outside to look at the snow and measure. We have 7-8inches of snow depending on where I measured. And they are saying it is supposed to snow non-stop until about midnight.
Hope you enjoy the pictures and that you all are being safe out there.




She was still really liking going down the hill, but the snow was blowing right in her face so she would look to the side, then back and try to eat the snow as it hit her face.
