Presidents Day

We thought we would honor our past presidents by sledding at the sand dunes. Despite how cold it looks, it was fairly warm. Dexton explored several different hills with his friend Clay while Connor made an enormous snow ball with Marley. You can see here that even the older kids got a little sledding time.It was a nice day to sled. Although there wasn't a lot of snow, it worked out really nice because you didn't get bogged down in deep snow and get too wet. It was also entertaining to see kids sledding down a steep hill and if they went far enough they would hit the sand and topple head over heels but they kept coming back for more. Connor as usual wore out quickly and was trying to talk the others into leaving but didn't have much luck.When everyone had their fill of sand and snow we headed back to the suburban to sip hot chocolate and have a snack before the drive back to Grammy Sue's.We promised the kids they could roast marshmallows by campfire out at the dunes but apparently you can no long build a fire out there. So we improvised and had a fire right outside the back door of Grammy Sue's house. It worked out well except for the rain, however that didn't stop anyone from burning a few mellows.After watching all of the kids have a good time we dared each other to go down a few hills.
