Snowsledding!






Here is Brittany, then Abigail and then Alex going off a small jump in the middle of one side of the hill. It was cool to catch them in mid-air!

The weather here has started to get warm (up to 45 degrees) melting a lot of snow and then it will turn super cold again (like 15 degrees) and snow and blow so I wanted the children to get to go sledding again at least once more just in case after one of our warm days it never snows big again. We went to a pit that's near home and it was the perfect size for climbing back up the hill after going down :)

Here is sweet sister Brittany taking Parker for a ride. I love the expressions on their faces. They had just hit a little bump and as you can see, Brittany is concerned to keep the sled upright so her baby brother doesn't experience a whitewash and he is full of pure delight, enjoying the ride down with so much pleasure!

All four of the children went at the same time, they had just started going down even though it looks like they are sitting still. Wonderful Wyatt is the sled pusher getting everyone going.

Mommy's big contribution was making the hot chocolate and photographing the family for posterity and all of you (lol). Daddy is wonderful for going up and down the hill with the kids having fun for me since his belly isn't stuffed with a basketball that weighs 25 lbs.

This was a fun afternoon with hot chocolate waiting back at home to warm us up of course, yum yum!

The pictures of them on the jump look scary, it looks like they are sledding down a cliff!

You got some incredible action shots! Where did you go sledding to get that degree of slope? Looks like a great time!
