Maiden Voyage

Last year I purchased some fancy sleds with the intention of taking our then 3 year old twins sledding.  Despite the crazy amount of snow we received last winter, somehow we never managed to hit the hills.  This year has been pretty minimalistic in the snow department (not complaining); so this was our first chance to get out. 

We found a great sledding spot at a local playground; a bit of a hidden gem if you will.  The first hill was a doozy to climb, but it was a long, fun ride down.  The kids LOVED it! 

There was a second shorter but steeper hill as well.  Clearly our kids have a need for speed since that is where we spent most of our time.  We raced each other and rolled in the snow.  Towards the end they were pooping out a bit on the climb back up the hill and Kurt, being the wonderful Papa he is, pulled all 76 lbs of them up over and over again :-)

We were so glad the kids enjoyed themselves and were so proud of how well they behaved (first 2 hour period without any whining in a LONG time).  All in all it was a fabulous winter morning!

Super Fast!

We figured the less she saw the better :-)

He's no slouch!

The kids were so sad to leave "the hill" and we all can't wait to go back - if we get anymore snow that is!
