Family Sledding Day

What can you do with this much snow in the yard?

(Actually, there is much less snow than there was at Christmas; it rained all weekend.)

:(

Well, you can go screaming down the hill on a sled or sno-tube.

The little ones get a toboggan with Mom, not a tube. . .

. . . but they may prefer to ride with Dad. . .

. . . 'cause sometimes Mom doesn't steer so well.

Ari has no fear at all. She yelled, "Wheee!" and "Yay!" all the way down and chanted, "My turn; my turn," all the way back up.

It's a long trek back up the hill.

But the trek back doesn't stop the smiling.

Conor crashes.

Cameron crashes.

Ari crashes.

She didn't make it 2 minutes after her snowsuit came off.

The other kids got hot chocolate and fresh-baked cookies.
