The second Sledding adventure.

Here we are at our normal hill. However, this picture was taken last week before our rain storm. So all of this is now ice.

For some reason we decided to go sledding again anyway.

Well, on a trip with my dad Kaleigh and him flipped. Since she was okay and we took her a few more times. Til Keith flipped with her. She got a little banged up but she just went home with daddy and nursed her owie. While Brenden, Nana, G'Pop and I stayed out a little longer. Brenden enjoyed a few runs alone and a few runs with all of us in our "boat"...


A few runs later he decided he wanted to become a luge expert. Well, it was his first time feet first fully lying down. Unfortunately he hit a bump and flipped the sled. I had before pictures, but decided these were better to post, as he had a chance for all the redness to go down. He's our resident tough guy. He never screamed, only whimpered a little and begged me to clean his nose out. Yes he also had a bloody nose which stopped pretty quickly. He was pretty tough wants to go out again soon. I told him he can go after the next snowfall.
But this was them just a few hours later playing their favorite game. Hit Brenden in the head and laugh. If you notice the background we are watching hockey. My dad says Brenden is just getting prepared for the start of his hockey career.

See they are still my favorite kids just with some bumps and bruises. Thank goodness we saw their school director today and explained where it all came from. Lucky for us she had already guessed as their primary president. I hate explaining where all the scrapes and bruises come from. So who's coming to visit us and join us sledding?

Sledding

Here's some pictures of us sledding last week. Pictures of yesterday are to come.



Here's Brenden after conquering the slope all by himself. He had a great time going all alone. He felt like the big boy he is.

Here's Kaleigh after a run with dad. Can you tell it took a lot out of her? She loves the snow. But we have no idea why she prefers to lie face down in it.



Here they are ready for another run. It's a pretty nice view.
