Sunday Funday

A few weeks ago it snowed and we were able to enjoy a Sunday full of sledding (a.k.a freezing our faces off!), hot cocoa, and relaxing. We only got about 4 inches of snow but with the wind shield it was almost -10 degrees outside! I've never been sledding where my whole face hurt so bad within minutes because the wind and snow instantly froze my face. And I mean HURT...so bad...I only went down the hill twice on the sled and I was over that idea! The wind was so strong that one of the biggest hills in the area (that's saying something since KS is mostly flat! Oh, did I mention it was a man-made hill by the resevoir??) that we wanted to sled down had NO snow on it because the wind took the snow and whipped it up over the road and across the frozen lake.

Most of the pictures are from up near the Reservoir about 2 miles behind our house. We ended up sledding down a hill on the other side of the reservoir that actually had snow left on it because the hill was blocking the wind.

 

 

 

 

 

                                            


Once we got home we let the kitties out to play in the snow. Neo had a blast and Rain thought it was alright but Indy was not so happy. He ended up hiding under one of the old buildings and wouldn't come out. When he finally did he wouldn't walk back to the house. He looked so pitiful so I was nice and carried him back.

The wind was whipping snow across the back fields

Snow Angel anyone??

Yea, I was excited :)

Indy was desperate to get out of the snow

Seeing as our groundhog friend came out and saw his shadow today, I am sure we shall see some more snow in the next 6 weeks..unfortunately...until then, stay warm my friends!
