Night Rider

Late last night at the height of our local snowstorm while the local on-the-spot newscasters were wetting themselves, having aneurisms and predicting Armageddon, the two older kids and I hopped in the car and met some of their friends at the local sledding hill at their school for some late-night fun.

Snow, especially accumulating amounts of snow are pretty rare around here so we didn't want to waste any time in getting out to enjoy it.

We had a blast first digging and piling the snow to build a jump...

...and then blasting right through it...

It was so much fun.

Did you know Sarah, Joshua and I could all fit on one snow disk together if you stack us right? Well, we can. We built all kinds of crazy trains and configurations of sleds with way too many people on them that we sent hurtling down the run.

For some reason the funnest rides are the ones where we would all crash and end up coated in snow like this powdered-sugar version of Sarah...

We stayed until we lost feeling in our extremities.
