Hayes hit the jackpot on this big wheel last time earning him 250 tickets. He didn't get so lucky today.
Another big spinning game he likes.
The train inside Pirate Pete's.
More tokens please!
Here is the little snowman. It is harder to build a snowman here than back home because the snow is all powder.
Sheldon cleaning the steps with a garden hoe. We seriously need to buy a snow shovel. We are supposed to hit the low 40s several days this week so the snow shouldn't be on the ground for a week like it was in early January.
Sheldon and Hayes at Bill's conference. Sheldon wanted me to take a picture of him in front of the 3M booth (not of the Amish family behind him). Little known fact that Sheldon and I are amazed by the Amish. We both think they are facsinating.
Inside just one section of the Gaylord Opryland Hotel & Convention Center. This place is huge and I would love to stay there on a future trip to Nashville. 
H-man in front of the planted poinsettias. 
Another interior of the hotel.
One of the lobby ceilings. We sat here after walking around and enjoyed a snack until someone dressed up in a bear costume came by and scared Hayes. Needless to say we didn't get a picture since we were waving the bear to keep moving.
The great thing about snow here is that it is like powder. None of that hard, icy stuff, although that does make it harder to make snowballs as Hayes and I found today. Also since it hasn't gotten above freezing here yet this year (not kidding) the snow is not going to turn into slush by the end of the day.
Thankfully the streets are clear if you need to go anywhere, although our school district and some of the surrounding ones were closed today. We had two snow plow trucks come down our street this morning so we are not snowed in. This is a good thing since the baby is due at the end of next month. I was starting to get a little anxiety about the thought of getting snowed in, since this mama is going to need an epidural.
We went out and played before and after lunch. Of course Hayes did not want to come in, but I was afraid his poor little hands would be frostbitten if we stayed outside too much longer. All the snow quality mittens I've been able to find are too big.
We had to improvise with what we had from South Carolina, a sand bucket. We made snow castles and then headed in for some hot chocolate. I wanted to show Hayes how to make a snow angel, but I was afraid I couldn't get up. Maybe I'll try tomorrow.
