Snow much fun!

This last weekend we found a really fun place to go sledding. Chad and I took the girls Saturday afternoon. It's just around the corner so we just put the girls in the big sled and pulled them there with the 4-wheeler. Here they are all ready to go.

Doesn't that look fun?!?!? That little dot on there is Chad.

Me & McKenzie

As always Brooklyn loved riding on the 4-wheeler.

Chad and the girls

We had so much fun that we decided to go again on Sunday and we got Donald & Judy and their family and Clint to go with. It is such a long hill that it would take forever to climb back up it. It is so great to have the 4 wheeler, we all go down and then Chad meets us at the bottom and takes us all back to the top. All aboard....

I could not believe Brookyln. She is such a little thrill seeker. Chad put her on a little saucer sled and sent her down, thinking that she would probably not make it all the way down. Well she did and after that she was hooked. She just could not get enough of it. She must be just the perfect size because she did it over and over and managed to stay on all the way down every time. She would get going so fast that we would have to have someone at the bottom to catch her. You could see her hitting bumps and bouncing around all the way down. When she was within earshot all you would hear was her laughing. Here she is waiting to go...

Here is a video clip of her going down. It's a little hard to see her at first but the hill is so long it's the best I could get.


Kenzie was a little nervous about it and it didn't help that right when we got there she tipped over and got snowrash (like road rash but from the snow :) ) on her face. After that she didn't want to go alone but she had fun riding along with everyone else. Here she is with me and Clint.

Then she and Brooklyn went with Erica.

She also discovered that her snowpants are pretty slippery and had fun just sliding on them.

And when all else fails it's always fun to play in the snow!

Jake went down with me a couple times but I' m not sure he knew what to think of it. He sure looked cute though!

All of "big kids" had just as much fun- if not more - that the little kids. It was fun to do and fun to watch. Here is Judy watching Chad help Levi, Erica and Liz get ready for a trip down.

Here's Ricky getting ready for one of his many trips down.

Don't worry Chad got to do more than just haul us all back up the hill over and over. He watched Ricky go off a jump then had to try it out for himself.

We all came home with red cheeks from the cold. Some of us with bumps and bruises and we were sore the next day but it was so much fun we can't wait to go again. Little red cheeks and all. :)
