Sledding...FINALLY

Since we had gotten all that snow the day before the kids were not about to miss out on a chance to go sledding.  As soon as we could we load up the sleds and headed to the mountains to sled.  This was Drakes first time sledding.  I went last year when he was in my belly but that doesn't count.  Elly thinks she is going to love it every time and has yet to love it as much as me, Tyler and Mason do.  She did last longer this time then she has before, so I guess it is a start.

We started out nice and easy for my sledding companions.  Drake was fine until the snow would blow in his face.  The snow was perfect, soft and fluffy.  Elly was a little nervous about and didn't like the snow in her face either but I had her turn around and then she was fine for a minute. 

This is the wild sled.  These two were trying to push each other and me out the whole time or they were trying to stand up or jump from their sled to mine.  It was pretty funny.  I laughed pretty much the whole time we were sledding.

Jay just drove us through that big puddle behind us and had to gun it so we wouldn't get stuck.

Tyler took a header into that cold mud puddle.  He hurt his head so he wasn't very happy with his dad.  He was pretty soaked from it.  Mason and I tried to save him but we couldn't hang on long enough.

Mason is the masked man.  It was a good thing he had this on or he never would have lasted the whole time.  He is our kid that always gets cold fast.  We have to put feet warmers in his boots and hand so he will last as long as Tyler.  Jay loved how covered in snow he was.

By the time we got back to where we started sledding the kids were getting cold and ready for some hot chocolate.  It is funny to me how the kids love sledding but as soon as you stop they are in tears because they are so cold.  I am just glad my kids love sledding as much as me and glad that Jay is good about always being the driver for us.  We had so much fun sledding.  We probably spent a few hours up there.  It is fun to make these kinds of memories with our kids.
