Snow Day!

Yesterday, Alyce and I, Mommy, went outside to play in the snow! Our neighbors, Jeff and Liz, asked if we wanted to come out and play while they were shoveling their driveway. I thought it would be the perfect opportunity to get Alyce out in the snow, since I didn't want to take her out by myself, being 7 months pregnant and all.

At first, Alyce was a little skeptical of walking in the snow, but after a few minutes she had no problem trouncing through the snow. It's not easy to walk in snow when it comes up to your knees or higher, but she had no trouble. After a few minutes of being out there, she walked to the front porch and was looking in. I think she was ready to go in. Then I laid down in the snow and made a snow angel, which got Alyce interested once again.

We decided to go to the backyard and see if we could get some sledding in. We don't really have a very steep hill, but Jeff and Liz were able to go down a few times. While they were making paths in the snow, Alyce found her slide and wanted to go down that. So, she did that a few times after I got some of the snow off of it. When Alyce saw what Jeff and Liz were doing, she wanted to give it a try. She was all smiles sledding down the hill. However, after only going down two times, she was done. So, we didn't get any pictures of that.

Alyce had found her wagon earlier and she wanted to go for a ride in that. Well, Jeff had to tip the wagon over to get the snow out and then try and pull it through the snow. I don't think it was very easy to pull the wagon through the snow, but Jeff had no troubles!

Soon it was time to go in and warm up! It was a good thing Jeff and Liz were there to play too because I don't think Alyce's snow day would have been very exciting with just Mommy. Thanks Jeff and Liz for inviting us out to play! We had a great time!
