Tennessee Snow

WARNING: PICTURE OVERLOAD!

In the almost 4 years we have lived in Tennessee, we have been lucky to get one good snow a year. It will snow during the night, then be melted by dinner the next night. So we are super excited to see it and play in it. These are the ONLY snow clothes we have for the boys. They have warm coats and mittens, but whats the point of buying them snow suits they will only wear once before they outgrow them.

Dave, being the engineer that he is thought up a brilliant plan to keep the boys dry. He cut up garbage bags and made them snow pants. What a smart man! ( That's why I married him!!)

I wasn't sure how long or if the snow would stay so I sent them out as soon as we noticed it was snowing to play. Poor Logan's hat kept covering his eyes. Sam was a great big brother and helped him adjust it several times.

Logan didn't like snow inside his mittens.

Another ingenious idea of Dave's. Homemade Sled. It worked great.

There was 1/4 inch of ice on top of the snow....snow angels didn't work.

They were to heavy to slide together, but they sure tried.

Sam got white washed! He liked it; it wasn't that mean.

Later, we went to a friends house and Dave and Chad rigged up a redneck sled made out of a piece of solar panel, zip ties, rope, and an old piece of chair. It worked great and everyone had a blast. Later that night Dave, Josh, and Chad broke out some snowboards and a four wheeler and added a little class to the redneck sled adventure. All it takes is an empty cornfield 8 inches of snow and a four wheeler and it was like Park City all over again. They ended up making a jump out of the sled and loads of snow. Needless to say, Dave is still hurting from it. Boys will ALWAYS be boys even when they get older!


IT SNOWED AGAIN!!!!!

The boys and I went out tonight to make a snowman for Family Night.

Not too shabby for a Tennessee snowman.
