Slush sledding

If you remember, back in February Mel and TJ's little girl Allison had wanted to go sledding with us when she saw the snow. Well, the next day (Saturday) it was scheduled to snow again so we told Mel that we would gladly take Allison out. Next morning: no snow. Nic and I were so disappointed because we really wanted to take her. We called Mel and we told her that we would take her anyways and we would be bound to find some snow. We went to Simplot Hill (which is a huge hill in Boise that J.R. Simplot allows people to go ice blocking on) and we found some snow. . .well, it was actually slush but it was still something we could slide down. We unloaded Allison and she was way excited! We took some pictures from our little adventure. What we didn't capture was how wet my pants were-it looked like I had an accident :(

After sledding, we decided it was still too early to take her back home. I called Mel and asked her if it was okay if we took her out to breakfast and let Mel have some time to herself-she had no problem with that! So, "Uncle Nic" and "Aunt Elaine" got to play "mom and dad." It was so much fun. We went out to IHOP and then shopping at Target, where I spoiled her like crazy-only with books though. That little girl is so stinkin' cute! It's been fun seeing her grow up. Here are the pictures from our slushing adventure. . .enjoy!
