Personally the animals, elephants, tigers and dogs, were my favorite part.
We came out of the circus not knowing what to expect. I was very surprised to see that the snow was not sticking to to the grass. Driving home the further north we came the heavier the snow and the more it was sticking. Traffic also slowed as we moved north... you can definitely tell you're in the south when, anytime snow accumulates the drivers panic and drive like idiots. They followed me to my house because of the accumulation. Weston and I got out of the car and started throwing snow balls. Somehow I lost my phone in the midst of our fight. I tried unsuccessfully, along with mom and dad, to find the darn thing in the 6 inches of snow/ice. My phone was already on it's last leg. I stayed up until 2 am Saturday and woke up at 8. Tyler had to report in to work at 1. Alison and I rode with Dad to drop him off, planning to stop by the phone store on the way home. We grabbed a quick bite to eat at Varsity. After lunch we headed for the phone store- I was disheartened to see that it was closed for the inclement weather. A girl can only live for so long without her phone. Dad couldn't pass up a trip to Sam's. On the way home Dad dropped my by Ashlyn's...I couldn't stand not seeing my favorite boys playing in the snow. We went back to my house to grab my old red rider sled. Weston and I set out for our own adventure--- I had the ingenious idea to slick the runners with oil. Weston and I sled and sled for a good 2 hours before sucomming to near frost bite extremities.
We were walking home when Lynn came to our rescue- good thing... Weston's fingers were about to fall off and my toes were about to fall off from the cold. We came in for a short time to defrost and play board games. We looked outside and saw that it was snowing again. Lynn, Weston, Emerald and I piled in the car and headed for the movie store. We picked out some good movies to get snowed in with. We came back by the house and picked up Ashlyn and Ayden and headed for village park for some great sledding! 
Here Emerald and I crammed in the back seat!Talk about fun! We sled until we wore ourselves slap out.
Here Ayden and I had mad a makeshift sled out of a plastic pool.The hill in village park is so steep that you literally go air borne. After the park we dropped the sled by the house and I grabbed my pajamas and a change of clothes. We got home and Ashlyn fixed some delicious oyster stew- at 10 o'clock at night. We ate soup and watched The Proposal with Sandra Bullock in it. Emerald and I took over Weston's bed- I on the top she on the bottom. I closed my eyes at little after 2 and woke up around 7:30 to Ayden playing and singing Aunt Net's song. Emerald, Weston and I ventured across the highway to buy ingredients for breakfast. Ashlyn always comments on how clumsy her mom and I are- so of course she says, "JILL! be CAREFUL out there." My being devious- told Weston and Emerald "I'm going to lay down at the curb and Weston will run home panicking telling Ashlyn I'm hurt, Emerald you'll be the lookout." On our way back we executed my plan.. Emerald and Icould hear Weston from the curb. Ashlyn "Jill... if you're lying God's gonna strike you dead! You better get up!" Emerald and I laughed and laughed! Next thing we knew Ashlyn had sent Lynn out the door. I waited until he got up near me- then I shot up and said, "JUST KIDDING!" We walked home and I said, "It's a good thing I wasn't really hurt... at least I'd know who'd help me if I was in danger." We laughed. After breakfast and watching Cloudy with A Chance of Meatballs Dad came and picked me up. We came home and I went sledding with Mom, Ty, Alison and Grady. We even put Grady on the sled with me. We came home and ate lunch. After lunch Dad and I went back to the phone store. I am now the proud new owner of n iPhone 3GS. I went over to Erin's house and we ate his dad's homemade chicken and noodles...YUM! After dinner we went sledding- we found a side street that was "slick as tar" making it perfect for sledding then I took him to village park. Village park was great- except that the heavy sledding traffic has worn the snow off the side of the hill, all but a few patches. Trying to outdo myself from last nigth I went flying down the hill- this time it didn't work so well. The second time down- I landed face forward on a patch of hard ice. I finished the night we a bruised and scraped high-cheek bone and scraped upper lip and chin....
My sledding is over for the time being! Tomorrow school is canceled! We'll be making it up on president's day! Dad said they're calling for a similar band of weather this coming weekend...
