We really need to purchase a sled

It was bright and sunny and snowy this morning. Church service was canceled so I made some cinnamon rolls. They were delicious!
Shortly after consuming cinnamon rolls, we all headed outside to enjoy the snow. I guess Brie wanted to ride a bike. It wasn't working too well.
Amanda was looking for the perfect chunk of ice to eat.
Here's our winter wonderland of a street. It was deserted. I had no issues just letting the kids run around in the street.
I wish I would have caught this sooner. Brie took her bike up Eunice's driveway a little bit and was sliding down backward. She wanted to run with the big girls :)
I showed Ava how to put ice through the cracks in the drain. They like throwing leaves and rocks down there too.
We finally made it to Eunice's house and Justin brought the shovel. Kinda slow, we really need to buy a sled.
Ava attempted the shovel and it didn't work very well for her either .
Then Justin tried his feet. That worked but maybe not the safest bet.
Since the feet and shovel didn't work Justin decided it would be fun to throw Ava down the hill (I have that on video). She seemed to go down fairly well...
So he threw himself down next.
I then looked down to find Brie sliding herself down the driveway and why not, everyone else is doing it. Just a big icy slide. She came up with this all on her own and I have it on video no need to worry.
We then decided it was high time to find some black diamond runs. It just so happens there was one just up the street. The rest of the neighborhood had the same idea. I went for a couple runs on a borrowed sled. Once with Ava and once with Brie (on the video as well).
As we were climbing the treacherous black diamond run, Amanda got hungry and picked herself a snack.
After the running of the black diamond hill we were headed home. There was a smaller hill so we decided to give it a go. Amanda gave it a go on her rear end. Didn't work so well.
They we got the borrowed sled and Ava went down with Brie,
Amanda and Ava went down together! Yes, you read that right, Amanda went down! Remember yesterday when Justin took her down kicking and screaming? Well she did it and she loved it and I have it on video.
When we got back to Eunice's house Amanda went down on her own like a pro, on a borrowed sled. I swear we really will get our own.
Finally, the much anticipated video is here. At the end of the video you will see Brie throwing snow and yelling. It was really funny because I was watching the others sledding and she walked away. a couple minutes later I heard her yelling so I turned to see what was going on. And this was what she was doing. Just picked up and did it herself. If she can't sled she'll make her own fun. What a smart cookie, maybe just a bored cookie.
