Sledding

Over the Christmas break we had the chance to go sledding. Sledding here is way better than in flat Toledo, OH. This hill ended up being pretty intense! It was steep (the picture makes it look way tame) and it had a few big bumps (aka jumps). Our kids were the youngest ones there. There was no one under the age of eight except our kids, with most kids 12 or older. After a few times down and many spills we ended up just going down only the last third of the hill. Caden liked this better, he was not a fan of the jumps. The girls had so much fun. I never did get a picture of them because they would always take off down the hill before I could snap a picture.  Definitely worth bundling everybody up.


Me with Chase and Caden getting ready to go down the hill.

That is me sliding down. Kailyn and Jordan are in the middle in pink. They had just taken a spill and were getting up to go down the rest of the hill.


Ken going down with Chase. I never could really tell if Chase liked it or not. He definitely didn't like it when the sled spun around and would start going down backwards. He was always willing to go down when we asked if he wanted to go.

That hill looks amazing! The only really good sledding hill near our house just got bulldozed and we haven't managed to get out and drive to another one yet this year.
