Ice, Sleet, Snow storm of 2010

We were expecting a huge snowstorm, but as usual the weatherman got all mixed up. We were told to prepare for 6-12 inches of snow and instead got 1" of ice, 3" of sleet and 3" of snow. We ended up making a place in the backyard we could sled, snowboard, and fall down! We used a giant jelly roll pan to sled and snowboard on.

Ari going down on her knees. She tried snowboarding but ended up falling pretty hard. She decided that she was closer to the ground if she was on her knees.
Daddy attempting to snowboard. He made it down once, but fell on the second try.
Connor did ok snowboarding, but like sledding down on his rear the most.
Hunter was an excellent snowboarder until he got tired and then he couldn't do it and spent some time in his rooming because he kept crying!
This is the only way Connor will ever hit Ari with a snowball---through a window!

Because of the snow, we were limited on family. My step-dad arrived safely from Hinton and we had some friends over, but most of our family couldn't make it to our house.
