Northern Sledding

We spent a brief but very fun weekend up North with Kyle's family.  The highlight for the girls was sledding with Auntie Kara & cousins Sydney and Ava!  Grandma & Grandpa A have just enough packed down slippery snow left, that the sledding was quite entertaining to say the least.

Piper, not quite sure what to think after her first run.  The first hill we tried was truly full of moguls. So much so, that our chiropractor was not real fond of it! It was also so speedy that we had to place rugs at the bottom as a barricade before the creek!

Hadley, Ava, Sydney, & Piper taking a quick break before venturing on to the next hill.

Hadley was determined that no sleds were required for this one!  Your own snowpants were more than enough to 'enjoy' this steep hill.

Sydney with some flair! Apparently that little Ava was too quick for my camera, as every picture I have of her flying down this hill is blurry!

Kyle couldn't be left out.

And I think that is a bit of fear on Piper's face!  She did go again, but first in the safety of Kyle's arms, and finally with her eyes squeezed shut!

Whew.  Those are the rosiest winter cheeks I've seen in a long time!  By the time we hit the 3rd and final hill, the jackets were ditched because we'd all gotten so warm!











We'd anticipated having another fun day with cousins on Sunday, but Hadley woke up sick and we had to get her on the road right away.  We've since been up to our ears in dirty ucky laundry, but are happy to say the pukes have gone away!
