We'd decided to stay home over the 3 day weekend and try and do some stuff around the house but the 2-4" snow prediction in Boone was too tempting and so Friday night we took off late and didn't get to the trailer until after midnight. By morning the snow event had been cancelled for Boone but it looked like there might be and inch or so at home. Huh??? How'd that happen. We hemmed and hawed a bit and started to head home but finally decided to just stay put and Lee suggested piling the girls in the car and trying out the sledding hill on Beech Mountain. After getting the physics of the thing figured out (they don't weigh enough to send down alone- Margaret was practically airborn) and started going down with them we all had a great time! Lee took our speed demon Mary Clare off the fastest hill and she grinned like a maniac all the way down. At some point MR took her gloves off and her hands got so cold it scared her and we had to do a bit of clowing around to avoid a meltdown. They got to make snow angels and afterwards unthawed by guzzeling hot chocolate with whipped cream. We can't wait to go again!!!
