It snowed! Which, it actually did a lot, but this time it snowed to such a degree that the sledding was really great! It was still too "dry" to build a snowman, but we at least got to explore the neighborhood some more to examine where the best hills are. I think we are close to figuring it all out. The snow gave us two snow days, but it also gave us the opportunity for a number of other things to do.
We went to Mt. Vernon in the snow. Mt. Vernon is probably my favorite place to go in DC. I have turned into a BIG FAN or reenactors, kind of embarrassingly so. I think about my kids doing that and wondering how to get them involved. Then I realize how well they ride horses and dollar signs flash before my eyes and suddenly, I am no longer a big fan.
We were able to go skiing about 1.5 hours from our house. For someone like me who does not know a whole lot about skiing or snowboarding, I thought it was pretty great. It did get really icy in the afternoon, but we still had a good time. The kids were in ski and/or snowboard school, so I had an all day date with Mr. T!
The kids did well on the ski lifts. They had a bunny slope that moved very slow for them, which made it easier. Even BabyP on the snowboard was able to get on and off. More importantly no one crashed in a firey death!
We all had a nice time. BabyP was able to handle the snowboard, and Peanut was planning for when she was going on the blacks. No complaints from these proud parents!
