Sledding

My parents & Grandma Robb came to spend Christmas with us this year. On Monday we were thinking of things to do & Grandma suggested a trip to the mountains. I have to say that we really weren't that excited. Kaysen was begging not to go & I was really dragging my feet. I could just imagine our car ride...kids fighting, us wanting to get out of the car, everyone being grumpy. But to make Grandma happy I went along with it, kicking & screaming the whole way. Kelly thought it would be fun to go sledding (yeah, right). So I insisted that we not take any snow clothes becasue nobody would want to go anyway.On the way out of town he stopped by the plant to get a tube & tied it to the top of our car. As we got on the highway a thumping sound started & then the tube got moved next to Tyler in the very back. Someone (I don't know who???me) suggested maybe we just leave to tube on the side of the road & someone else would be happy to find it. Kelly wouldn't do it & Tyler rode with it around his head all the way to Pomerelle. Then we went to the snomobile lodge, but it was crowded so we drove around the parking lot & found a nice little hill. I thought that would be ok, we would let the kids go down a couple of times & then we would be out of there, 10 minutes tops. But, a couple hours later, this is how it turned out!

All of us, Grandma Robb & all, went down the hill. Did you notice how well my mom stopped Grandma Robb?? She jumped out of the way & poor Grandma ran into the truck!

Kaysen enjoyed riding on Kelly's back. There were a few times I thought he was going to fly off, but he managed to hold on!

We ended up taking the long way home & drove through the City of Rocks & Oakley! The kids were so good too! Kaysen even thanked Kelly for taking us to the mountains!
