Sledding

The week leading up to Christmas was kinda nice for us...Brett called in sick on that Wednesday, and after a few hours sleep he woke up feeling great, so we kinda scored an unplanned day off. We decided to bundle kids up and go sledding. We have just two small saucer sleds, but they were perfect for the kids.

We went to Tautphus Park, where we heard there were some fun hills to sled. What we found was perfect for our kids, but totally boring for older kids. Which is probably why we had the park to ourselves!

The kids absolutely had a blast on the sleds. We each went with them a time or two, and they went by themselves a lot. It was a short trip though, because they didn't have good gloves so their hands got cold fast.

So the next day, Christmas Eve, I was at the store and found some Thinsulate mittens...perfect! I also found a new hat for Kylee, since hers have disappeared, and we decided to head to the park again. Once again, the kids had a blast. They probably sledded for about 45 minutes this time, until the little bit of snow was pretty much gone. I took a bunch of photos both times, and you can just see the joy on their faces!

Kylee tried to get on the sled herself...on her knees.
Whoops! Down she goes...


Luckily, instead of being terrified, she thought it was great!







Aedan kept pulling his hat up...it reminds me of an old man!
