Gone Sleddin'

Today was the first day of the boys' winter break. We tried to talk Shawn into playing hooky, to no avail.

The boys and I decided to spend our afternoon sledding. A friend told me about a hill near by that we could try.

With temps in the mid 40's and plenty of grass poking through the snow, I was doubtful that we'd be successful... Luckily I was wrong.

Tyler's first run.

Gavin ready to go.

I'm not sure I've ever seen such joy on this child's face!


Gavin watching Tyler go down ~ almost as much fun as going down himself.

Sometimes Gavin was a little nervous.

Headed up the stairs to give it another go.

It was more fun going head first they decided.



Gavin going head first, too.


When we were leaving, Gavin declared that it had been the best day of his life. Apparently we don't get out enough. ;)

OH, I MISS snow and sledding. I grew up in Iowa and Nebraska (for the first tenyears anyway) and it was always so much fun - especially when the weather wasn't too cold. What a perfect day!
I bet they either conked out on the way home or slept really good last night!

gavin looks a bit like me on a rollercoaster - I'm having a great time, but you wouldn't know it to look at me! :)

I find that for young children whatever great thing is happening makes that day the best day of their life... MQ is the same way!
