Sledging with the girls

As promised we went out today in the snow with our snow bum boards. Firstly we went down the hill outside the house and then we got a little daring and went to the park where there was a much bigger hill to slide down. Lots of fun was had by Lucy, Katie and Charlotte.





Oops not into the ditch Katie !!!

More Snow

Yes it came down last night thick and fast and was 20cm by the morning. As the only school open in the town we all had to trek into school at 8am this morning and made it in in 50mins by walking on the roads following the car tracks. If we had had to go by the pavements i think Hannah would still be there as the snow was over her wellies. Anyway lots of fun was had at school and some great snow sculptures were made and many snow balls were thrown at Mrs Robins who very kindly offered to stay to help !! When we finally got home Katie and I made a snowman and then used our newly purchased bum sleds down the hill outside the house. No doubt we will be back out in it tomorrow as we have school closed for two days and i will post some pics of the girls sledging tomorrow.





Yes it really was that deep !!


All kitted out and off to school in the snow.


And it was up to Hannah's top of her wellies !!


A beautiful snow teddy as the girls thought it looked like. It was just a pile of snow built up on the decking post.
