Sledding with Brandon Road Friends

Earlier in the morning, we were out and working hard on shoveling.  We wanted the boys to be able to get some sledding in now that they had cleared Stevenson and we would be able to walk across to the hill next to the school.  

It seemed as thought our street and Brandon Road had been skipped so we worked on getting the snow off the curb side and everything that was from the car path to the car. We were incredibly concerned about having to shovel out again after a plow came through causing more and more work.  The pile of snow was so high that we had to do a lot of extra walking to find a place to pile it so it wouldn't collapse. 

We started our walk and caught up with the Brandon Road boys. 

Luckily, we went in the afternoon after some people had already created some type of pathway.  Despite the pathways, most of the kids and some of the parents were sinking in so deep that they were struggling to take their next step.

Finally, the boys were able to sled. 

All of the parents took turns giving the kids pushes to help the zoom down the hill.  Craig took his job very well and took a well deserved slide down the hill himself. 

Walking back tired and ready to warm up after lots of fun.

Stanmore Road was finally plowed in the evening.  Our friends on Brandon weren't so lucky and it took another 2 days for them to get plowed/packed down.  We are so happy that we went from the yellow lines on the street to the car because anybody that didn't was still stuck the next day.
