It's so fun to have the sun shining outside lately! But as excited as I am for the beautiful spring weather, we really had a fun winter! I think my favorite thing about the snow this year, was our own FANTASTIC sledding/snowboarding/skiing hill right in our own backyard! Even though the snow was in full force, the kids loved to be outside! They made themselves a jump for their sleds, and a rail for their snowboards. So much fun! Now, I didn't say that I took advantage of that great hill...but I sure loved watching the kids. Last summer we excavated the back yard, had a rock retaining wall built and in the process, put in the neighborhood sledding hill!
