Ice Sledding

We went sledding with some friends after Christmas and it was super fun and scary. This has been a strange Winter here and there is practically no snow and the snow that is left usually semi melts during the day and then freezes again at night so the hill we went to was super icy. It was giving me a bit of a panic attack at how daring my children were and thankfully half way through our expedition I remembered we had some helmets in the car from ice skating so I made them put them on their noggins. Soon after Tati rammed into Greg. It was like on that Chevy Chase movie when he is sledding on that disc and there are sparks and fireworks because he is going so fast. We only went about 1/3 of the way up the hill. There were some idiots going to the very top and sliding down. It is a miracle they are alive and no ambulance was called. Greg wanted to go really high but I reminded him of his bad luck with injuries and his lack of helmet so he decided to make me happy instead of going for it. Thank you Greg.

Anyway, since he wasn't hot dogging down the hill too much, he was able to get some great shots like these:

Poor Gavin spent most of the time in his stroller but when we finally got him out, he was just smiling and "talking" to us so excitedly--it was super cute. And speaking of cute, how's this?

Looks like way fun for the children, but where is Gavin's helmet? Glad you talked Greg out of going up the hill, he is accident prone, :-)
