A sledding day!

Drew and Rae, Bent and I took all the kids sledding. We really had a great time. I was impressed by all the kids. They all were very brave on the big hill we went to. Drew was a great sport. He jumped right on and went down with the kids.



Most of the day we cheated and used the snowmobiles and the big black sled to haul the kids back up the hill. Brent really thought we needed to let them hike the hill to wear them out for the day.

Meg and Lena were so brave. They both went down the hill several times, at first we thought there might be tears, but when I got down there to pick them up... They both said... I want to do that again.

I look Lena down on the little sled. We ended up going down backwards and then took a little roll down the hill. We decided to walk back up. Really... I am not sure I could have done that all day.




There were a few good wrecks that day. I think everyone had one. But the wreck of the day went to Robbie. We attempted a train at the top of the biggest hill. We put Rob up front, then Landon, Tanner and finally Drew. When they started Drew was heavy enough ( no offense Drew) that the whole train circled around and they were all going backward in the opposite order. Well, Rob got bumped off near the top... so he climbed back up and jumped on the little red sled. I sent him off and he got some great speed. He was on his tummy and he hit a good bump. He went head over tea kettle four times. Really, He turned his whole body over four times. I have to admit it did scare me and I was glad the Rae did not see him. When I got down to him, He was crying but only because his helmet was packed full of snow. Sure enough, after a minute to get it out of his system he was off and sledding again. Way to go Robbie!!!





It was such a fun day. I am so glad that we have been doing things to enjoy winter. I usually get very sad and depressed in the winter. I am happy we have been out enjoying it. Anyone want to go???? Put on a comment and lets play!!!
