After bowling yesterday and sledding today I am so sore!! I haven't done either one of these activities in a couple years and I guess I used some muscles that didn't like to be reminded that they existed. ;)
Starting out yesterday I thought we were going to have to cancel the days plans due to snow, but once the plows got the roads cleared and the sun started shining the road cleared fairly quickly. I spent some of the day cleaning around the house and preparing food before we headed into town to go bowling. This is just a pic of Michael and I on our way into town to go bowling. 
Ohh....gotta love the shoes...they are just so incredibly stylish and just think about how many people have had their feet in there before you. Ha Ha...that comment was for Beth who apparently doesn't bowl because she can't get past the grossness of other people's feet. I mean I know they spray the shoes with antibacterial stuff or something when you turn them back in. . .but it is still quite gross!
And what's bowling without a little spot of tea! Taylor had her cute little tea pitcher with her that she made tea for everybody in. ( I love that little pitcher and cup set. Michael and I bought her that for her birthday. I so wish I could find a real one that looked like that...I would adore it!!)
Trey did not bowl either but he had fun playing with the monster trucks that he brought and running around.
Grandma and Grandpa each bowled one game but sat out and watched while the rest of us bowled the other. I went to go take their picture and grandpa was being silly and made this crazy face. I had to take a couple more before I got one a smiling one.
Uncle Paul and Olivia also came and bowled with us. Olivia had a lane all to herself because she had bumpers up. I so wish I could have bowled on the lane with her. I would have done so much better...as it stands I am pretty sure she beat me!
I love all the different colors of bowling balls. They look like pretty easter eggs sitting there.
I think Becky's wrist was bugging her so she decided to try a granny ball shot. . .I think it headed to the gutter fairly quickly though...oh, so sad.
Quick shot of my mom and I and one of Becky and Beth. Laura arrived with her kids during the second game but I don't think we took too many pictures after that point so I don't have any pictures of them. After bowling we headed to my house where we had pasta with spaghetti sauce and chicken alfredo, salad, and texas toast. After eating we lit candles in the outline of a five and a two ( which was very hard to distinguish what the numbers actually were), sang happy birthday, and had cake and ice cream. It was all very delicious and I for one ate way too much!
And then today. . .sledding was lots of fun and very exhausting! We got back to the house and I was sleepy, hungry, and my butt was ice cold. After I stripped all my layers off I felt like I could actually walk like a normal person. I don't actually have a snow suit or anything like that, so this is what I had on.

I can honestly say that is the most camo I have ever worn in my life! Anyway, enough talk...here's the pics!

The hill...there is even another section at the top where we start that you cannot see in this picture
Wyatt and Brandy coming down the hill on the runner sleds that Michael and I bought several years back. I think was only the second time that we have actually used them. They go so FAST and it is definitely a good thing that you can steer them while going town this hill!
Thank god for Mark's truck, because we would have done a lot of walking up the hill without it. We never would have been able to stay out there for the 3.5 hours we did at that rate!
Any why would we just drive up the hill when we can pull a couple people behind us for even more sledding fun! This is Brandy and Wyatt. I also took a video of them and it is quite funny, but it would take forever to load. 
Mark waiting to be pulled back up the hill.
Mark and Michael getting pulled up the hill. They tried to shove each other into the snowbanks more than any of the rest of us when we were getting pulled around and it was quite funny. Michael made me fly into the snowbank a little when him and I were getting pulled up at the same time and holy crap was it ever COLD!!!Well, that's all I have for now. I am going to go eat some leftover spaghetti now and then some ice cream sounds good! I can't remember if this shows the time posted or the time the blog was started. I have actually been working on this off and on for a couple hours. It is almost 7pm now and I think after dinner some Mario Brothers on the Wii sounds like fun!!
