Sledding

We had promised the girls that we would go sledding as a family, but it just wasn't working. If we didn't already have plans on the weekend, it was much too frigid to venture out. Last weekend, however, we had the perfect combination of warmer temps and an open schedule.

Bekah was super gung-ho about the whole thing. As soon as we got to Freeman Park, she took off running to the hill with her saucer, zoomed down and ran back up again exclaiming, "Wa-hoo!"

After Seth pointed out the jumps that other people had built up, Bekah positioned her sled to hit one every time. She even thought the huge berm that had been built up in front of an electrical box to keep people from hitting it was a jump as well.

Ana was a little more reserved. She enjoyed going down a few times, but she also spent a lot of time sitting on the little fence at the top of the hill. Or checking out the picnic shelter.

Or pulling the little sled around.

Miriam was the least-enthused of all. She tolerated going down the hill a few times, but mostly she just whined.

This next picture pretty well sums up Miri's feelings for sledding.

Meh.
