Matt and I took the kids sledding on Monday. Parker really wanted to go last weekend when the snow first fell and was fresh on the ground, but Matt's work schedule didn't allow us to do that. So there was still enough snow that hadn't melted to take the kids out. We went to the Moreland Gravel Pits and we were the only ones there. The hills had been well worn in with other sledders from the weekend so the hill was like ice. I went down first and boy was the ride fast! What I couldn't see from the top was that someone had made a jump at the bottom so I flew over that and about fell off the sled. It was a wild ride, too wild for Paige. So we found a smaller spot to take her on. She wasn't quite sure about it, but seemed to like it when she was riding with me. She even got laughing while watching Matt and Parker go down the hill. Parker couldn't get enough and wanted to stay there "all day." It was really pretty chilly and we only stayed about 1 hour, long enough to get a workout from climbing up and down the hill. We are definitely planning to go again if the weather permits and gives us some more snow!
