Sledding!

We got about 4 inches of fresh snow on Friday, so we decided to take advantage of it and go sledding today! There are several good sledding hills in a large park not far from our house, so that is where we headed.

Getting ready for the run.


Here he goes! (5 year old C)


Daughter G.

Son G.

Little Man surprised me and had an absolute BALL!! He loved it! (until his last run when he went into some scrub brush and got banged up a little bit). He went down the same big slope that his older siblings went down, and in fact his little sled went the farthest! If you are able to click on this picture and enlarge it you will see he is going full tilt down the hill with a huge smile on his face!

Our son L did not have such a great time. I'm not sure you can see it due to the small size of this picture, but when he and my hubby went down their first run there was quite a bit of snow that got sprayed up into their faces. That pretty much ruined the day for L. I felt bad for him, but glad that everyone else had so much fun!

Here is our daughter G and son C.

And daughter G with Little Man. I LOVE this picture!

Me and C (just to prove that I was actually there!).


We came home, started a cozy fire, and played a new game that our cousins gave us for Christmas called zooreka (thanks K&K and Cody, Kendyl and Garrett!! It was really fun to play - everyone loved it!). I'm so thankful for such a lovely family day.

  1. What fun!!!! We've only had two very light snowfalls this winter. We'll see about February -- that's when we get more snow. Thus far the old timers have been right: very wet winter here -- so great after so many years of drought.

    Glad your family had such a blast! You're such a good mommy to be cold for hours just so your kids can have fun!
