Sledding!

After a lot of asking (as soon as there was the tiniest bit of snow) we finally took the kids sledding at my parents house.  They have a nice hill and it’s great since there aren’t other people around   ...and I can go inside!  Brody still HATES being outside in the snow, so it’s great for him too! 

Daddy took a few trips down the hill to pack the snow down.

…And Brody already lost his gloves and was freaking out about being cold.  The kids hadn’t even gone down yet!  (And he went inside right after this picture without ever going down the hill!)

Daddy and Reygann took the first trip down the hill

Then Kylie went (sorry about the crappy picture), you can kinda tell how deep the snow is here… but you can see it better on Brody up a few picts though.

Next we dug out the toboggan and all three of them went down!  It was late and I was running out of light so most of the picts are blurry, but I like the motion in them still.

He gave it a running start and they flew!

…and he had to drag his legs behind him at the end and jump off to stop it before it went into the swale! 

It was handy that these stones were here… they were the only thing standing between the the toboggan and the swale!  You can kinda tell how it drops off after them.

Reygann liked going down backwards (and spinning around and around)

Kylie tried it on her stomach once… she got a face full of snow, she stuck to the regular way after that!

Taking the toboggan down again

(See, isn’t the motion fun?)
