Sledding on Mt. Geno!

New Years Eve Day brought Western Mass yet another snow storm. This was good for a few different reasons: 1) I got out of work at 1P.M., and 2) It meant that the kids would all have something to do on New Years Day!

Our house has two hills on either side of it that lead into out backyard. Instead of trekking out and fighting crowds at the public hills, we thought we would give our yard a try. And are we glad we did! After some initial slow starts, the snow became more packed which meant faster and farther rides! After awhile, we were stopping short of the fence at the back of the yard!

Tyler and Frank made sure they took a turn together.

Wipeout! Conor took a turn right into a face full of snow!

Tyler, Skylar, and Conor all took a turn together as well.

Conor was even thoughtful enough to offer a ride to Hailey, who at 1 1/2 years was a real trooper out in the snow!

Uncle Jim tried to sneak away for a ride by himself! Silly Uncle Jim!

Tyler and Skylar were little popsicles after awhile despite wearing a lot of warm layers. But it was nothing that a little hot chocolate with extra marshmallows couldn't take care of!
