Let it Snow, Let it Snow, Let it Snow

We got SNOW!!!!! And lots of it (at least for Nashville)! I could barely concentrate at work Friday morning as the snow started to fall. It was so pretty! I got to leave around 10AM to ensure everyone could get home safe since it was predicted to snow ALL DAY! And it did... over 4 inches worth! Ryan and I got out in the snow a little bit that day when Parker, Glen, and Bo brought Duke over to play. Sadie and Duke had a blast in the backyard playing in the shiny whiteness! But Saturday morning Ryan got a real itching to get out and play in it ourselves. We wanted to SLED! Since we don't own a sled Ryan had a bright idea to use the top of a cooler. After a few running pushes down our road and back alley, we figured out pretty quick that it was not going to work. I'm sure our neighbors thought we were crazy when they saw Ryan running down the road pushing me on a cooler lid. So after Jeff and Aaron hit up Kroger for some storage bin lids (sleds sold out everywhere), they graciously agreed to come pick us up with some four wheel drive action (Ryan was missing his Tahoe right about now)! Then we swung back to pick up Meg and Natasha and we were off to Sevier Park in 12th South. Many other Nashvillians had the same idea so it was a full house! And I'm glad it was because 1. it was entertaining, and 2. because our lids did not work AT ALL and some people were kind enough to let us use some of their sleds- even their traditional wooden one! It's been years since I've done some real sledding and it was so fun! Apparently we're not the only ones in this town that do not own sleds because we saw everything from air mattresses to bicycles to canoes trying to make it down the hills at the park! It was hilarious! I LOVE SNOW DAYS!

And P.S.- It was Aaron's birthday! Happy birthday Aaron! What a fun birthday present!

Duke came over to play

Both these dogs were loving the frisbee

Getting ready to sled on Saturday! This is the stash of clothes Ryan pulled down from the attic for us to bundle up! Notice Sadie at the door begging us to come out and throw the frisbee for her :)

Layering up

Stylin' in some Carhart overalls! Oh yeah!

Ready to go!

Going to test out the cooler

Over 4 inches!

Sevier Park

No need for a cooler!

Some man gave Ryan a bar of soap to slick up the cooler lid, but it still didn't work!

And away he goes!

Having fun feeling like kids again!
