The Snowstorm of the Year!

It has been snowing for about 24 hours, and we have been making the most of it! This morning, after breakfast, the boys and I piled into the car and went to snowboard and sled in Takoma Park on a street that is closed for sledding. I had sledded there as a kid, too, and when we got there, nobody else was there. The boys tried sledding, but then both were more interested in snowboarding on the board Cassius had received from Santa. They were pretty good, though the video is not the best evidence of it!

After a quick snack at Mamy and Maurice's, we sped home to drop off Cassius with Aunt Lucy. Maceo and I continued down to Capitol Hill where he took part in a Pokemon class at a very cool toy store. Two hours later, we were on our way home, fully Pokemoned up and ready for quiet time. 

And it was still snowing.

Once quiet time was done, Cassius and I headed across the street for some more snowboarding.

In another spot nearby, but still in the woods:

And then the best spot yet. A bit of open hill and some packed powder.
