EXTREME SLEDDING!!!

We decided to venture out into the snow this past Saturday and go sledding. Most of the snow here in the valley has melted, so we traveled a bit up Mink Creek Canyon. We found a closed road that served well for a beginning sledding hill.





Then there was this......




And this........


McKinley wasn't too interested in the beginner hill. Gavin had to warm up to "extreme sledding". Jamison got cold, so he and I spent part of the time in the van, exploring all the knobs and gadgets. He did enjoy sledding.

Funny story about my brain. It doesn't work too well. I'm going to claim lack of sleep. We got all the way to where we stopped to go sledding before I realized I had left my snow boots in the garage. Matthew says "well, you'll be okay in your tennis shoes". I then had to inform him that I wasn't wearing my tennis shoes. Check out my "snow shoes".


I was wearing my slippers, which are clogs, so I just slipped the elastic on my snowpants over the top. I put the back part under my heel. It worked pretty good. McKinley didn't understand why I couldn't hike up to go extreme sledding. I still had a good time.

I just like the above picture of Matthew wrecking with Jamison. This is the mild extreme hill. Gavin ran into that pole you can see on the left, which kinda soured him on sledding down the bigger hills. He finally went one last time right before we left. He's so much more cautious than McKinley.

Happy late Thanksgiving!! May you all have wonderful sledding adventures of your own!!
