A Blizzard of a Weekend

We had a wonderful winter weekend here in Wisconsin. We woke up to snow falling on Saturday morning, about 6 inches. The boys could hardly wait to get outside and help daddy shovel snow or as Jacob likes to do, eat snow. He did tell me that he stays away from the yellow snow, ok, good. Since Saturday consisted of us being housebound all day, Sunday was packed full of weekend to-do's! With all the fresh snow on the ground you know what that means...perfect conditions for sledding! The boys have been waiting all winter for a day like this, the sledding hill all to themselves, sunny, and a beautiful blue sky. After church the boys hit the hill with their sleds in tow. After a quick lunch we were off to a community fair to eat cotton candy and win a few prizes. Then a brief stop at Cabela's to look at stuffed animals, live fish, and shoot guns (total boy stuff!) Our day was topped off by a visit from Grandma and Grandpa and all the Heidenbergers. The boys barely made it into their beds before passing out from exhaustion.

Here are a few pictures from the sledding hill....

Jacob and Tyler with their new speedy sleds!

Whoops, looks like they lost their speedy sleds and opted for a belly sled.

Tyler is all smiles and out of breath after climbing back up the hill.

Jacob is all ready to hit the slope!

Can't you hear the theme to the movie Rocky in this picture! They are the champions!
