Family Fun

I am loving that the boys are at the age to be able to do things pretty independently.

Growing up, I remember DREADING getting my younger siblings ready to go play in the snow....and truthfully, I sometimes DREAD getting my own kids geared up to play long enough to make the 'outing' worth it....

I should have never doubted that no matter HOW long we're outside in the snow playing as a family, it WILL BE FUN!!!

This particular day was only 6 degrees...before getting out of the car at Community Park, I matter-of-fact-ly declared that we would be staying for a minimum of 30 minutes, or we'd NEVER come again!  (must have been one of *those* days)

Over an hour later, and we (yes, I went down the hill a few times, too!!!) had to DRAG the kids off the sledding hill because it was getting dark and I was hungry and probably the coldest.  We had so much fun!

Trying to hit the ice jump at the bottom (not me, of course!), racing, and seeing who could sled the farthest.

Never underestimate three little boys sledding with their daddy on a hill that everybody else gave up on because of the cold weather.  By far, a most successful family outing, making wonderful memories.
