Sledding

6 Feb 2008

A few weeks ago we went sledding at Grandma and Grandpa James' house. They have a cute little hill in their front yard that is just PERFECT for litttle kids to sled on. Tyler took to it right away though he hated pulling his sled back up the hill and usually got Mom or Grandpa to do it for him.

Derek was nervous at first but seemed okay after going down with Mom and Tyler. On one run, he fell out of the sled at the bottom of the hill and got his hands all snowey. This made him pretty upset so we put some socks on his hands to keep them kinda warm. Now he puts socks on his hands all the time as a joke. I love his face in the picture right before they go down the hill. (You might have to click on the picture in order to enlarge it so that you can see his expression better.)

William really didn't want to sled down the hill but he was cool with sitting on the sled on the porch. In the first picture it looks like William is saying, "Yeah right! Look at those fools at the bottom of the hill. If you think I'm going down there, you're crazy!"

After all the sledding was done, Grandpa made a fire in the fire pit on the deck and he and Tyler sat out there to warm up. All in all, I think that the boys had a really good time.
