Sledding

We went sledding with Bryan and Jamie's family up near the windmill's and Bryan brought his snowmobiles to tow the kids back up the hill. It was a beautiful afternoon and all the cousins had so much fun together. I even let Kendrik take me for a ride on a snowmobile, he quite a good little driver! It was a lot of fun! I wish we would have brought hot chocolate, that is the only thing that would have made the day better, otherwise it was perfect! The cousins all took turns going down together in various combinations and Jamie and Kendrik towed them all back up on the snowmobiles, now that is the way to sled, no trudging up the hill! We'll have to make this an annual tradition - a great time was had by all and here's our proof:


Jonas, Grace, Audrey and Savannah - they all fit on the sled together - cute!

Just another shot of the kids all on the sled! Pretty cute little marshmallow babies!

I love the rosy cheeks on Grace from the cold, what a cute little snow bunny! She had so much fun sledding and playing in the snow, the hill was a little big for her so she didn't go down too many times, but she played in the snow and pulled Jonas around on a sled, it was really sweet!

The dynamic duo! These two are best friends, they are 6 months apart and at any family event they are inseparable, it has been so fun to watch them grow up together! Of course by the end of sledding they had hatched a sleepover plan - leave it to these two to always come up with something. So after the sledding fun, Savannah slept over at Ashlyn's and had a blast!

Off they go! They went down together about a hundred times, they traded hats, the took turns being in the front and just plain had a good time together!

Larren taking Jonas and Grace down the hill - what a fun dad!

McKade waiting for Kendrik to take him for a ride, he's got his helmet on and is ready to go!

Grace playing with the sled on the top of the hill.

Savannah and Ashlyn waiting for a ride back up to the top of the hill.

They gave up on waiting and trudged back to the top - what cute girls!

Jonas went for a snowmobile ride with Larren! He loved every minute of it - loud and fast - what more could a little guy want!

Kendrik heading back down to pick up some of the kids, he really impressed me with his skills, you can tell her grew up riding, he was such a good sport picking up kids and giving them rides!

Audrey coming back from having a ride with Kendrik, that is a face of fun and happiness!

Larren and Kendrik going for a last ride, starting to get dark - we played until daylight gave out, it was a fun day, we had tired, cold, rosy cheeked kids who were begging for more!
