Dogs in the snow...

Yuri loves the snow and is a maniac running all throughout it.

Chewie is not the biggest fan. He would much rather stay inside in the warm house, snuggled up near a blanket on the couch.

Blizzard 2011

The next snow storm we had after we went sledding was actually deemed a blizzard. The news channels went as far as calling it such ridiculous terms as snowpocolypse and snowmagedon. While their broadcasting was over the top, there really was a ton of snow. It was snowing up to 2 inches an hour, roads were shut down and everything was closed. Here are a few pictures of our house once the snow fall had slowed down.

Sledding

A few snowstorms ago(we have had 3 large ones so far this winter) Steve and I decided to go sledding. We picked up two sleds at Ace Hardware, I chose the good old saucer sled and Steve went for the toboggan type sled. Afterwards we bundled up and then we had to find a good hill. This wasn't an easy task. It seems that around Johnson County most of the good sledding hills end at major roads and people still sled on them! I was not up to that. So we drove all around one of our larger parks and finally found the perfect hill. We sled for a good hour or more. It was just as fun as we remember it being when we were kids. :)
