Enjoying the Snow!

We got about 3-4 inches of snow this time - enough to actually go sledding. This was the first time that we've had enough snow to sled since Nathan's been born. We had enough to build a snowman last year, but since it melted from the roads so quickly, we didn't get to take Nathan to Eleazar to sled until yesterday. Nathan, not knowing what fun sledding is, wanted to stay at home and build a snowman, but once he figured out how much fun sledding is, he didn't want to stop. We took Reagan to Nanny's house to play while we all went to Eleazar to sled on the big hill in the whitewater kayaks. At first Nathan was a little timid and wanted someone to sled with him, but as the day wore on, he became braver. We met up with Crockett, Kristie, Kyndall and Kylie and Thomas, Kari and Maci. We took the whitewater kayaks and Kristie brought Nathan a snowmobile kiddie sled. Nathan had so much fun - he didn't want to leave. We met back up with the gang this morning for another day of sledding. Nathan was even braver today and surprised us at how well he can control a sled by himself. This afternoon we sledded some more at our house so Reagan could play with us. She had so much fun sledding in the red kayak with me and Nathan. She rode in the sled as I would pull it back up the hill (she had it made!). At one point, as I was half-way up the hill, the rope broke and she went back down the hill backwards faster than I could run to catch her. She stopped when she hit a tree in the woods, but thankfully she wasn't hurt or scared. I asked her if she had fun, and she said "Yay!" - her word for yes. What wonderful days in the snow!
