Horray - last night it snowed and so when we woke up everything was covered in about 3 inches (8cm) of lovely white powdery snow. And even better - it was Saturday so no need to worry about getting out to work and school. We decided to make the most of it as it is not forecast to last long. So in the morning we used our snow bricks, kindly privided by Father Christmas, to build some walls for an igloo - we very much admire the Inuits who manage to live in them - ours could barely stand up and certainly didn't have a roof! In the afternoon we headed out to the slopes of Mount Joy in Valley Forge National Park to try out our new sledges (http://www.nps.gov/vafo/index.htm). They were fantastic fun and we went whizzing down the slopes - we even managed to do some steering. The George Washington statue was standing watching us very sternly from behind. Thank you very much NPS friends - what a great gift!
