Sledding Times 2, 2016

Walk with Gigi
Dear Leah and Logan,

After New Years Eve came and 2016 settled down a bit, I thought it might be a good idea to go see Gigi for her birthday weekend in January. Besides seeing Gigi, I was hoping you 2 would get to see lots of snow.  So we loaded up in daddy's new Jeep, and we headed North. We split up the trip, and got to Gigi's on Friday morning.

There was only 2-3 inches of snow on the ground when we got to Michigan, and the weather was calling for rain. So I rushed to 3 different stores to find sleds and winter clothes. We then went to Poxon Park down the street from Gigi's. Here are 2 videos from Day 1.

On Day 2, Uncle Mike went with us because he and Grandma drove the whole way up that day. But instead of snow, there was a lot more ice since it had rained the night before....so we went faster down the hill.

That night, you 2 hung out with Aunt Mary and Uncle Dev while we went out for dinner....it was a great Michigan weekend, and Gigi loved having us there for her birthday!

Well who could have predicted that 5 days after we got home, that Tennessee would get hit with a blizzard. Murfreesboro got 5 inches of snow?!?  So we went sledding by the big hill off of Thompson Lane. All the people sledding made the bottom of the hill muddy, but we still had a blast.




I have to see- you 2 are fearless!! I'm really glad we got to see a little bit of 'real' winter. Maybe we'll get some more snow this winter!!

Love,
Daddy
