Sledding Fun

While Justin got some sleep at Aunt Cindy's house in preparation for the long drive home I took the kids sledding at the nearby elementary school. Grandma B got us a couple of sleds and then Sharon was so sweet and brought a ton of things for the ride on. Sharon hauled all the tubes and sleds down to the school in the back of her truck, as we didn't have room for it in the van. 

This was Silvio's first time snow sledding!

From the looks of his face in this picture I'd say he LOVED it!!!

Mr. Grant did not let 9 stitches on his head slow him down at all. He was a sledding fool! 

Hunter going head first! 

This is Kiersten enjoying a fast ride down!

Logan loved sledding! 

Sharon even had a double riding tube. The kids love it! 

The kids enjoyed trying the different sleds and tubes. They tried going down simultaneously next to each other while holding hands. Now that was pretty funny to watch!  

Ella was such a trooper and enjoyed climbing all over the van while we watched from inside the warm can as the other kids sled. She loved watching them go down the big hill and even cheered for them! 

Sharon told me to call her when the kids were tried of sledding. She thought we last about an hour at the longest. Well three hours later she showed up at the school because she assumed we were having problems or something. It was like  7 degrees and only got colder as the time went on. So Sharon did think our Arizona kids would handle that cold. To be honest neither did I! But man they were tough and couldn't get enough of the sledding. Sharon set there and visited with me watching the kids sled for a good 30 minutes and then I finally had to just make the kids load up because I didn't want to make her wait any longer. Plus it was getting dark. 

Sledding was the perfect activity to do before our long drive home!  We drove at night both to Utah and back so that the kids would just sleep as we traveled. It worked out pretty good!  We sure made some fun memories sledding!!!
