Knowing my days to enjoy activities with the kids are limited, I thought I should enjoy these last few days to the fullest. I had the great idea of taking the kids sledding. I should have considered the temperature before heading to the hill, 14 degrees and bit windy. We all bundled up from head to toe. I hated to admit it, but my fingers were freezing before we even got to the hill. We drove to Don Williams where they have a good sized hill by the beach. Probably because of the cold, we had the hill to ourselves. Jake and Jayden had a sled and tried for a big take off, not getting very far. We discovered the new blue sled was the glider. Luke and I were the ones to try out the blue sled first. Luke in front, I pushed off and jumped on and away we went. We were gaining speed rather quickly. Luke started to laugh, then was quiet as we kept going faster. At the bottom I was excited and asked Luke what he thought. He said he was done and didn't want to do that again. So, up the hill we went and Luke sat happily in the Tahoe watching out the window. It was way cold for him outside anyway. Jayden and Jaocb made several more trips and once all 3 of us fit on the sled and flew to the bottom with a face full of snow as we stopped. In seconds you could feel the wet snow freeze your face. It was an awful feeling. Jayden and Jake had some pretty funny spills an tumbles that made my laugh so hard. Caught one of Jake on video as he flipped end over end.
