Sledding & Snoozing

This weekend an amazing coincidence occurred - on Saturday afternoon we had no obligations, none of us were sick, and it was above zero (barely). We decided to take advantage of this rare set of circumstances and take the kids sledding for the first time this year. We drove down the road to our favortie spot, only to realize that they were holding the city's annual Cardboard Box Sled Event right on our usual hill. It was fun to watch, with decorated cardboard boxes flying down the slope, some coming apart as they went.


After watching for a few moments, we got back in the car and headed down the road to another hill. By this time Jake was sound asleep in the car, so we parked and took turns sledding with Haley. At first she was nervous, but before too long she was flying down on her own from the top of the hill. Jake missed out on the whole thing, but hopefully it won't be too long before we can do it again.
