Great Day for Sledding

 We haven't had a TON of snow yet (knock wood!) but we got a few inches - the perfect amount to sled down our awesome front hill!

Ramsey isn't exactly a dare devil, so it took a lot of prodding to get him to go down the hill with Connor.  When he did agree to go, he tried to bail (more than once).  I was laughing the whole time (am I a terrible mother for laughing at my child's fright?!?!?).    I went down the hill too and it is a little scary, but it is soooo much fun!

Connor, who IS a dare devil went down a ton of times, spinning sometimes as he went down... and other times, starting in a backwards position and going down the hill without knowing where the heck he was going!  Every time he did that, it made me queasy.  On the videos, you can hear my "ews" and "ughs"!  It literally made my stomach churn!  When you're young, none of that is an issue!

With the front hill being a little too spooky for Ramsey, we tried him on the side hill.  A few years back, Eric and I had good luck (one up top to push him and one of us below to "catch" him).  He was a little more apprehensive than I thought he would be this year.

We had to throw a few snowballs and make snow angels too.

And eat some snow.   Why not?!?

Then, back to more sledding.

Connor had a novel idea of sliding down our side hill (north/south), with a built-up ramp (made from snow), and then into the neighbor's yard.  It was impressive, but the snow ramp didn't launch him quite as he'd hoped.

I was just happy he didn't run into a tree!!!
