Sledding!

It snowed last week! Our friends, the Johnsons, said they knew a great sledding hill, so we went with them to check it out. I was a little skeptical at first because our yard has a nice slope to it and the kids are pretty happy sledding on that--plus, since James had to work, it meant I had to take Douglas outside in the cold. It turned out to be an incredible sledding spot that looked like some bunny slopes I've seen (minus the chairlift, unfortunately! It's really the driving range for the golf course...), and we all had a great time.

The little yellow dot in the middle is Michael. We got out of the car and the kids all ran over to the top of the hill. I was about halfway there when Michael took the sled, sat down, pushed off, and zoomed down the hill, all by himself!

Another of Michael:

Hi, kids!

They convinced Karl to walk over to the other side and try that even longer hill. Douglas was really toasty!

What a fun time! The only problem is that now when it snows, our yard just won't seem so great any more!
