Sledding

The last two weekends for our entertainment, we have gone sledding. We actually found a pretty good hill close to our house. Zayder is just too little to much care. Declyn had more fun just playing in the snow. Dono has a blast and never gets tired of running back up the hill. He also has no problem hitting the jumps (as you can see.) Courtney couldn't hit the jump no matter what. Most of the time he ended up on the side in the grass. Finally Paul tried to guide his sled down for him . . and well . . .just look at the pictures. Was pretty painful according to Courtney. Was pretty dang funny for all of us watching.

Zayd all bundled up.

The little boys with their dad making their one trip down the hill. (The attention span of a 3 year old is rivaled only by the attention span of a 1 year old.)

Declyn spent most of the day using part of a broken sled to climb the side of the hill. In a 3 year old mind, it was like he was scaling Mount Everest.

Dono catching some air. By far our most graceful sledder.

And by far our most un-graceful sledders . . .

First try resulted in one broken knee and a bruised forearm.


Second try actually looked better and . . .

Convinced them to try a third (and final) time which resulted in one broken tailbone, one severed spine, and some other injuries that are too personal to report.
