Sledding at Recess

I'll never forget when Sofia came home from school one day last year and shared with me that when it snows they get to go sledding during recess.  There is a pretty decent hill in the school yard that is just perfect for sledding.  Being a girl that grew up in the Caribbean and California I myself thought this pretty cool.

Well, last year was a winter that never gave us much snow.  Sofia was so disappointed.  When we did get a snow, it just wasn't enough to cover the hill.

This year's winter began even more dismal than last year.  We broke records for the going the longest amount of time without a snow.

But alas, last week it snowed.  One inch here and another inch there.  Then Friday night it snowed quite a bit.  And Sunday night it snowed a bit more.

Needless to say, yesterday Sofia came home from school so excited because she went SLEDDING AT RECESS!!!!  How fun is that.  Of course, this has meant making sure she has her snowpants, snowboots, hat, gloves and jacket.  But it is all worth it.
