When Amanda, Jessica, and I got home from the 
Wilds, the skies had dumped a regular blizzard on our area and our front hill was perfect for sledding! (Keep in mind a “good snow” for our area is about four inches! Ha ha!) The rest of the Team had already had quite the time out there enjoying it with some of the 
neighbors, and they had great tales to tell and wanted us to experience it too.
So… on our first night home, out we all went – even Titus and even though it was only 10 degrees – and what a time we had! We started at the top of the hill and were able to fly to about 15 -20 feet from the creek! (Come see us to completely understand the Neely geography.) 
It’s a wonderful blessing that we didn’t go any further – it was a little too cold to take a refreshing dunk in the stream. 🙂 The evening was lots of fun and made a lot of funny family memories! Hurray for the snow!!
We got snow too at the beginning of the year. There was about 1/2 an inch on the ground. We didn’t sled in it though. I love the picture of Titus on the sled with Kathryn and Sonny. He is really cute! Okay, so I liked the other pictures too. One question though, How long did the snow stay on the ground before melting?
Now that’s more like the sledding we’re used to! What a fun hill (though the people are really what make it fun). I still haven’t forgotten my first hair-raising white-knuckle-terror ride down it in “The Big Red Mule”! 🙂
That was a lot of fun! It is uncommon to get such a good snow — perfect for sledding! Katrina, it stayed for several days. Actually, there was still snow on the ground in various places a full ten days later!
Looks like y’all had a lot of fun. We don’t get a lot of snow either. When we it does snow, there is no place to sled. Oh well… at least I can enjoy looking at the pictures of y’all having fun sledding!! 🙂
