Sledding

There aren't very many hills out here in the Midwest, let alone sledding hills. Fortunately for us, there is a small hill just down the street at one of our favorite parks, the perfect size for kids. Since we got a foot of snow this weekend, we decided to make the most of it and take the family out sledding. We have a nice big sled (Caleb's primary transportation these days to and from school) for us to enjoy. Kelsie and Brandon tested the hill and packed down the snow for a good run which set the stage for the next hour and a half of fun. The snow was deep and soft, the perfect kind for sledding and having a nice big snow fight--which is what Brandon decided was a lot more fun to do than waiting his turn to slide down the hill. This was also Caleb's first real sledding experience, and we were really impressed with his innate abilites to the sport. He liked going down the regular old sled until our friends showed up and brought their pizza pan. After that, it was all about the metal pan, or not at all. He's a pretty tough 1 year old, if I do say so myself. Don't believe me? Watch the video:
