The Sledding Hill

We are in a deep freeze here in Minnesota, and day one was last Friday which was also an early release day for Joe. Ted took the afternoon off and planned for the first sledding outing of the season with Joe at our local park which has a fantastic sledding hill. Ted had put a note in Joe's lunchbox telling him they would go sledding after school so when Ted picked him up at school he was already wearing his snow pants. That meant the boys were the first at the hill.

Given the cold they only stayed about 20 minutes, but they got some good runs in. Joe fell over toward the end of his runs because he was going so fast which resulted in a few frustrated tears, but he did his best to brush himself off and head back to the top. Hopefully it will warm up a bit this weekend and we can head back out with the whole family!

Here is Joe on one of his more successful runs.

  1. I remember watching Nick zoom down the hill. I found it amusing watching such a little person go so fast. I always wonder what must be going through there mind. (Holy crap get me off this thing, or come on man this has to go faster.) Very cute to watch him go.
