Sledding on the 8th

...of February. I remember the date because it was Cousin K's 4th birthday! We met at the sledding hill in town for what would be my kids' very first experience sledding (aside from being pulled around the yard, of course!).  When we arrived we were surprised to find a rather large, steep and icy hill, so we stuck to the bottom half which proved to be just about right for our 3, 4 and 5 year olds. 

 These two enjoyed racing down...

 

 and back up the hill, too!

 

 D and L did attempt the big hill.

 

 But it was fast...

 

 too fast for L (who had her eyes shut the entire time!).  She didn't ask to go again and insisted on 'doing it herself' on the little hill for the rest of the evening!

 

 Baby D was there, too!

 

 We warmed up for a bit with some hot chocolate before heading out for a few more trips down the hill...

 

before Space Aliens for a birthday supper! 

 

Happy Birthday, Cousin K!
