Beautiful, Wet, Cold Stuff 




One beanie picture was just added for...I'll let you know when I've figured it out myself. It in no way indicates how the day went!

Well, between my sister and myself, we took 94 pictures. A few more than last year... Unfortunately, none of them captured the funniest moments. Sledding is fun, but when you add sleds + guys, you're going to come up with something crazy! To start at the beginning, everyone met at my house for breakfast, Bible study, and prayer. We then all packed up and drove 1/2 hour up to the snow. The snow park has a 700 foot hill, but not interested in walking up that thing, we chose the hill by the lake. I know what you're thinking. Nope, it's not sleds + guys + lake. The thing with sledding is that once you get going down the hill, gravity kind of takes over and the only way to effectively stop is to bail out. Some people who did not use their heads (!) kept sledding kind of horizontally across the hill. In other words, right in front of us! But you wouldn't see them until they were right in front of you! D was going down the hill to tackle his son who was walking up when one such person appeared in front of him. He had to do a flip over them to get out of the way! Next, JB and his son were going down on the tube. M decided to jump over them instead of getting out of the way! And for the grand finale, JP was going down on the tube when another horizontal sled group went across right in front of him just as he caught air and flew over them!

The only crazy thing I did was to play football in knee deep snow. Talk about slow motion! I also did my share of bailing, flipping, and crashing on the sleds. Those horizontal people! ;-) Until next year...
