We decided to take advantage of this GREAT winter weather today before it turned bitterly cold later this week with a sledding trip after church. We usually just walk to the park across the street but we decided to be adventurous and try a BIG hill at Franke Park.
I REALLY meant BIG! This is NOah being launched over a big bump on the way down. Usually you are airborne after the big bump and Torrey wanted me to catch it but this is what we got instead.....Even though Noah protested we moved down to the less treacherous part of the hill for fear of broken bones (as we were leaving an ambulance came rushing in...it is not hard to imagine why)
Here is Carter after we down graded to the smaller side of the hill. The big hill was way too much for him. The boys had a great time....poor Torrey had to carry Wuby back up the hill most of the time. We had her walk some of it but it was so steep and her legs were so little.

Ehrman boys. (I put an hat on him I promise!! He refused to wear it)
This is the slowest sledding run ever. I actually took 15 pictures in a 10 foot slide for this one.
Before
After
I took a turn down the BIG hill at Torrey's urging. You may have heard me scream "I am going to die!!!!!" all the way by your house! I ended up going backwards, really, really, fast and received a few bruises from the "bump". I retreated to the "bunny slopes" after that.

We had a great day!!! Home for hot chocolate and snuggled up to watch Sleeping Beauty....I choose to have a life! A great one with my kids!!! (my new mantra)

Looks like it was an all out "yard sale" on the big hill- I love that you can see a mitten in the air!

Would you believe I have NEVER in my life been sledding??? After seeing this, I'm not sure I want to...I might get dead!

I love all the pictures. I love your new saying. Your eyes are beautiful in the close up. They look so green. Reagan is very adventuress when it comes to sleding But Kailtyn wants someone to hold her.
