Winter Fun

Last Saturday Alyssa, Jack and I bundled up, threw the sleds in the car and went to find us a big ol hill in Orrington. We found all kinds of fun on top of King's Mountain. Once we got there all kinds of memories of sledding on that hill came flooding back. Must've been 25 years since I've been on that hill. It was warm enough to sled for hours, we managed a little more than one before we were soaked through. Jack managed the hill really well, although you can see he preferred the "pull me on the sled" method of going up the hill. (notice his hands behind his head) A great day was had by all! Next time Dad will join us!

Winter Fun 2010

Although the snow has been hit and miss this year we've still made some time to go out and enjoy the fluffy white stuff. Sledding has definitely been the favorite outdoor activity and we have the perfect hill for it. It's just big enough to get a good run in but not sooo steep that the kids can't climb up it themselves. Although Jack definitely prefers to be pulled up! Alyssa has learned the run and dive trick to get the most out of our hill. Jack tries it too but mostly he needs to have a good push. We've tried making a snowman but haven't had much luck yet. Perhaps today will be the day we get that "magic snow" as my dad would say! Here's to more adventures in the snow!
