Snow boarding

Over the summer the girls found Mark's old snow board and decided that this was the year that they would give it a whirl. A few weeks ago, there was a light dusting, so they took it to the back yard and tested it out. One run down the hill and they were hooked. They have been waiting for a big snow so that they could take it to a "real" hill and see what they're made of.
All fun and games on the small hill. 

With just a little snow, the grass sticking through slowed them down just enough they could get the hang of things. 
The big hill was a different story. They quickly realized how fast they can go once the snow packs down a bit!

Norah led the way on the sled to pack the snow so they could go really fast!

Emma did a great job and quickly learned how to dig in to steer the board. 

Check out how DEEP the snow was!

Of course, Mark had to show off his skills too.

It was windy, cold, and snowy, but everyone left with smiles on their faces.
