Sledding

Yesterday we rounded up the neighbors and took the kids sledding at a huge hill by the amphitheater in Eagle Mountain. We started on the smaller section first which was enough to put smiles on their faces. I took Madison down first and then came back and got Austin when he was ready. He LOVED it. He laughed the whole way down, which had me laughing!! Then Garrett and I took Madison and Austin all together down the big hill which was so scary, but fun. We were going so fast and didn't stop until we were on the dirt at the bottom on the hill. After the big hill, which Madison wasn't too fond of, we took them to a hill that looked like a 'U'. I don't know how else to explain it. You went down one side and up the other alittle bit, going back and forth until you stopped. It was Madison's favorite. She stayed there for a good 30 mins while Austin ran off to the park. Thats right we took the kids sledding and they just wanted to play at the park!! Austin stayed there and played while the others kept sledding. Madison eventually came over and played on the swings with Austin. After that the snow was getting mushy and the sled was losing air so it was slow enough to let them try themselves. We took them back to the little hill and let Austin and Madison go down together, which was fun to watch!! We even let Austin do it a few times himself. Gosh he looked so big! And then it was back to the big hill for our last runs of the day. I took Austin, Madison, and Kesler down twice, and then all of them; Trek and Kesler, Bryce, and Garrett, AJ, and Madison, went down the hill side by side. Of course the kids didn't want to go, but we were all so tired. We were almost there for two hours!! I don't have the pictures yet because Jen took them all, but I will try to get them from her soon. It was so much fun, and warm too. I love that we didn't freeze our butts off :)
