Christmas eve day (sledding)
For Christmas Eve Day this year Marlene wanted to take the kids sledding, and so that parents had to come along. We went to a small park that is about 1/4 of a mile up from their house. There was a really big snowstorm that was going to hit in the late afternoon and evening of the day, and so we planned to go early, but you know how things go and so it was pretty cold and the storm was pretty close by the time that we made it to the park. We were only able to sled for around 30 minutes before the storm hit us pretty hard, but the kids had a great time while we were there. Ryan was able to come because he got off work early, and he had a great time also. I had fun and even went down the big hill a few times with the girls.
All three girls on the small hill. This is the only hill that I would allow Brooklyn to go on. She was very grateful and was content to sit in moms grandma's or dads arms from the remainer of the time.
You can't really tell how big this hill is, but it was pretty steep, and the only way Mckenzie could get up was on her hands and knees. In reality she didn't get all the way up this way either Ryan had to come down and carry her up the hill.
One their first trip down the went to the side over a bump and almost into a picinic table. It was very funny to me. If the video works, you will be able to see them come down the hill and the spill. You can see Mckenzie was more that happy to get out of the sled. She had to be convinced to go down again. She did go down again, but would only go with mom. Unfortunatly I hit a bump also, the only saving grace, we didn't tip over. Aby had a great time, and keeps asking when we are going to go again.
