I think she was cold but stubborn and wanted to keep going! Of course, my little snow bunny!
Michaela was frozen, too. I love her face in this photo - she looks so sweet. ;)
Yep, I'm freezing my arse off. Frozen solid and lookin' fine, tee hee.
A view from the bottom as we start to climb one more time...
That's wee little Meggie at the bottom of the hill on the other side.
This is the steep, packed, & bumpy side. It's fun but you get air on the way down and a butt-ache. LOL
That's them, together, holding the green sleds. I think it took 2.5 seconds to get to the bottom. The screams of terror mixed with delight were so funny.
A pose at the top of the hill at the big one. These two were ready to go, and go, and go!!
A quick smile ot two from my ladies.
Michaela finally makes it all the way down.
Megan lands on her head. She was so stinkin hilarious to watch. That girl does not feel cold, I swear!
From the top, here they come!
The story:
Last weekend, it was cold, of course, but we could no longer resist the urge to go sledding. It was actually considered a "heat wave" at 15 degrees. LOL The girls & I bundled up and attempted the small hill in the school yard. It served as a warm-up (no pun intended) for us.
Then, we decided that the snow was too powdery and that we needed to try the large hill at Indian Springs Metro Park. Oh, did that hunch ever pay off. It literally is the largest sled hill I've ever seen! It was cool because not only were there kids sledding, tobogganing, & tubing down the hill - they were snowboarding too! Which is also great because the kids can learn before going and spending $40+ dollars to go to the nearest ski hill (Alpine down the street). Well, my girls did not snowboard but we tried our green disc sleds that Santa brought. Wowza was that FUN!! It's been years since I've gone and I think we'll be making this trip way more often. I decided I do need to invest in some snow gear though. Just a hat, gloves, and boots doesn't exactly cut it. This is some serious sledding.
Tonight we are going to a PTA sponsored event at the toboggan run "The Fridge". It will be a blast - this is normally a water park/slide in the summer, if you can picture that.
I'm sharing some photos with you and two videos from last weekend. Enjoy!
