Fun in the Snow

Its winter in Iowa!! Well it doesn't feel too much like it today! It is about 40 degrees and a metly mess everywhere! It was nice all weekend so we got out and played in the snow! Saturday we went to Des Moines to find Kyle some new boots for his snowboard (that i got him at a garage sale last summer for $20!) and we ended up getting him a new snowboard (and bindings, boots, goggles!). So we had to try it out so we stopped in Dayton at schlice hill(no clue how to spell it). It was fun to go there and think about sledding when I was a kid! Kyle had a good time. Not as fun as somewhere with a lift and bigger hills! But hey he got to try out his new toy! And then on Sunday we took our sleds and Kyle's new "toy" out to Kennedy Park here in town. Wow! A ton of people were there. It was fun to watch the all the kids, there were a bunch of crashes too! Kyle snowboarded a little, but it was hard with that many kids, he was afraid of taking someone out! Abby was with both days and she had a lot of fun playing in the snow! It was a fun weekend! Hope everyone has a great week!

Abby on top of a snowpile in our yard! She loved to climb to the top!

Kyle at the bottom of the hill in Dayton! I think he was excited about his new board!
Abby and I ran to the bottom of the hill to meet Kyle!
Abby digging in the snow. Its funny to watch, she just goes nuts digging away!
Now we're at Kennedy, Kyle getting ready for his first run down!
A closer view of his new board! It's pretty sweet!

Blowing me a kiss on the way down!

Us! It was a great day to be outside!

Abby playing in the snow! I think she was pretty cold by the end of the day!

A view of the lodge at Kennedy, it was pretty full!
