Sledding Fun

Since Santa brought the girls new sleds for Christmas, we had to go and try them out. We headed out on New Year's day, and because of the temperature (6) and negative wind chills, we had the hill to ourselves for most of the time. A middle-aged woman and her beagle did join us for a while, and gave us a new twist on dog-sledding - she held the dog on her lap while going down the hill in a saucer sled. It didn't end well, but both left with only their pride injured...

Here are some pics from the adventure. Sorry we didn't get one of the dog sled...

Madilyn and her new inflatable sled. It lasted for 3 runs before tearing beyond hope of repair.

Sarah, always watching. She doesn't participate in all the craziness. Later she headed off to a nearby playground, and got her workout swinging on the swings.

First run for Madilyn on the snow wedge. Both survived without injury. :-)

Dad trying to beat Mom's distance record. (He did, darn it.)

Hot chocolate time!

Fun family time!
