Winter Fun

As you can see from the Header on my blog,

one of our Winter Break activities was sledding.

My kids got some sleds for my parent's house in the mountains

as a Christmas present.

They couldn't wait to use them,

so we just went out to the back of my parent's property.

There are a couple of drainage ditches that my parents weren't thrilled about

until we discovered what fun sledding hills they could be.

Everyone got in on the act;

Grandma, Grandpa, Uncles Mike and Matt, Melanie, My Family, as well as 4 dogs!

I wish we had video of my mom, AKA Black Grandma, sledding!

She was screaming like she was on a roller coaster ride as she went down the hill/slope.

Every time she went down it was the same.

I figured screaming must make it more fun, so I tried it out.
Yep, it does!

Last but not least, my dad, AKA Whisker Grandpa,
was trying to show the kids how to slide down without sleds.
He took a running start and biffed his face into the snow.
As he continued down the hill, Nick saw him and jumped on his back.
Nick started yelling, "Snot Rocket!" as they flew down the hill.
When my dad stood up, his nose was bleeding from a small scratch,
and Nick had boogers that stretched to his chin.
Snot Rocket was right!
I wonder if we can make that an amusement park ride? :-)

What a great vacation!
