We wanted to take the kids out sledding the first snowfall early in December, but Mason had been sick, and still looked sick, Paige had a yucky nose and it just wasn't the best timing. When they got better, Shawn had a crazy work schedule and things just didn't fall into place to allow all of us to go. We have a small berm in our back yard that allows for small sledding, which the kids have liked, but we wanted to take them out to some good size hills and really show them what fun sledding can be. It snowed last night. Not much, but enough to put a fresh layer of snow on the icy snow that has covered the hills for the last few weeks. Shawn has this weekend off. Perfect timing. We got out by 9am. It was 22 degrees when we started. We had so much fun. Paige was so cute. She looks like a little pink marshmallow walking around in her snow suit. When Shawn or I took the kids down, the snow sprayed up on to us, and we plowed out trail down the hill. Emma really hated that part. She didn't like getting snow sprayed on her face, but, who could blame her? We stayed out about an hour, and all the kids were tired and ready to go home and rest. We all had so much fun.
I was walking up the hill with Paige on the sled riding up, and she started sliding off the sled. I sat down to get her back on the sled, but ended up laying her on the sled and carrying the sled with Paige on it the rest of the way up. Poor kid, couldn't even get a good ride up the hill.
