Sledding in the backyard.

Raly begged me to go sledding, but I was a little hesitant to take them to a big hill...you know Reese, not the best listener especially in a large open space! So, we went sledding in our backyard. We have a pretty good slope from our front yard to our backyard so we took advantage of it. We had to build up a large speed bump so that they wouldn't slam into the fence. It worked fairly well and I got some good exercise. At first Reese didn't want anything to do with the sled, but after a good 30 minutes of "shoveling" the backyard, he decided to give it a try. Also, the kids are wearing new coats and snowpants, thanks to Daddy. He happened to be in REI on the first day of their big sale! Great timing. Raly played in the snow while I was getting the sledding path ready and as safe as possible.
Raly is sledding down feet first so that I could get a picture. I had to hold the sled while they got on so that they would go down straight.


Jodie came by to deliever Raly's kindergarten registration paperwork for me to fill out (YIKES) and she heard us playing out back. She took a few pictures for us. Thanks Jodie.

Raly's face is funny here. She must have been anticipating the speed bump. The kids were so disappointed when it was time to go inside. We had a great time.
