Sleds and Snowmen

We all decided that we needed to get all bundled up this afternoon and take advantage of the fresh powder. The kids started up the hill with the sled in tow, although for Riley Jo the trek up the hill proved to be a challenge. It's hard to climb a fairly steep hill when the snow is past your knees. Tater got the sled to the top and went down and then hauled the sled back up again, just as Riley Jo was reaching the launch point. She decided that she would go down once and that would be enough for her.

Aahh... made the uphill hike worth it!!!

Dustin got tired of waiting for Riley tyring to trudge her way through the deep snow, so being the good brother that he is, offered to push her through the field.

After the much exhausting attempt at sledding, we figured we would try our hands at building a snowman. Dustin was to busy moving snow and making roads with his dump trucks, but Riley really enjoyed our task at hand. He's a 'snowcowboy'. (note the cowboy hat)

I found this picture to be a little comical due to the fact of the trees in the background, full of nice green leaves.
