Anna Goes Sledding

Here in Utah we’ve had a cold, snowy winter, as I mentioned in my recent post.   This last week nature dropped about a foot of the white stuff all over!  Anna loves the snow, as you can see here.  We’ve even brought in a bucket of snow so Anna could play in it! (Click any picture to see it larger.)

 A friend asked Anna’s mom the other day if we enjoy being able to go out now that the sky is completely cloud covered.  Sadly, cloud cover doesn’t stop UV. In fact, the snow makes it even harder to deal with because it reflects UV even more than the ground or sidewalk.

Since Anna loves the snow so much, we decided to finally take her out to play in the snow after dark.  We didn’t have to go far.

Bundled up, Anna had fun throwing snowballs and just walking through the snow.  The snow reflected the street lamp and our porch light well enough we could see just fine.

I made a little ramp right outside our front door – a perfect little sledding hill for little Anna. Thanks to Grandma Debbie, we had a new sled to try out.

It’s pretty dark, but we have one fun little video of Anna taking the sled on a run.  Turn up the volume to hear her say
“whee!!”

Note: Sorry about the Vertical Video Syndrome.

Anna had a blast, but got cold pretty quickly. We snapped one quick family photo before heading back inside to warm up.  We’ll be going out again soon.
