Sledding Galore

With school closures, ample snow, and bright sunny skies, we headed over to our neighborhood park to put our sleds to work. Gailyn, Julie, and Jordan met us at our place and we tromped, pulled, and slid our way over to the beckoning snow-blanketed hills.

The varying facial expressions in these photos tell a story of both exhilaration -- mostly on the part of the kiddos -- and terror -- mostly on the part of the adults. What a blast!

Our initial arrival and a wave from Gailyn, Julie, and Meg.



Jordan taking the first run.



Julie and Jorja following suit.



Absolute approval from Miss Jorja.



Gailyn and Anders in the midst of their first run.



Pummeling Anders with the snow my brakes boots are kicking up -- oops!



Meg and Jorja zooming away.



Anders and I try again.



Gailyn and Jorja give it a whirl.





Meg grasping one the kiddos -- who's tucked away in there? -- in hopes of slowing down?



Meg and I on our way to one close call after another.
