Sledding....FINALLY!

 I finally took the kids sledding today. Every holiday or Saturday that has come around this last month has been so cold that we have not been able to go. It was still freezing today, but it was sunny and so we decided to brave it. It was only about 5-8 degrees the whole time they were sledding, but they kept warm because of the sun and all the hiking up and down the hill. We found the most perfect spot. I can park my car right at the bottom and watch them the whole time. It is just down the street from our house, in Hyde Park.

Corey and Cade loved it the whole time. They went from the top of the hill probably 25 times. Cade brought a neighbor friend Mathew and Casen brought Riley, Mathews younger brother. Riley(4) braved it the whole time too from the very top of the hill and so did his brother. Casen would only go from the middle of the hill, but after he accidentally slipped from the top of the hill and rode down on a sled backwards, he was done. He came and sat in the car with me and Crew. I did get him to go back out again and give it another try once he quit crying and warmed up. Crew played in the snow for about 10 minutes and then got cold. I wanted to take Crew sledding, but it was way too cold and we were short a pair of GOOD gloves.

The kids had alot of fun! And this spot was perfect. Now we just need it to warm up, so we can stay out their longer and the little ones enjoy it a little more. 

Casen...just checking out the BIG HILL!
