Sledding on Ice

It's been quite the winter so far this year! This was our third round of winter weather. It showed up this time in the form of ice that kept us home for several days. The roads were solid sheets of ice. Adeline enjoyed the homemade sled that Jared came up with. We took her out several times to sled and ran around the backyard for a little while one day. Ice with a little bit of snow is not as much fun to "play" in as all snow, but we still had a great time! Adeline kept wanting us to make snowballs for her to throw, but it was hard to make anything other than "ice" balls. Cora went out with us one time for about two minutes, but the rest of the time we just waited until she was taking a nap. There wasn't much she could enjoy about it so we figured we might as well let her stay warm! Besides, she isn't much for big, heavy clothes!

Adeline fell face first off the sled one time into the ice. I should mention that this was in the grassy yard rather than the solid ice on the road! She got a small cut on her nose so Jared put Neosporin and a band aid on it to help it heal quicker.
