New Found Love

The girls have never been sledding before, except for a cookie sheet down our driveway in Oregon years ago, if that counts.  Anyways, the girls have been wanting to go and finally it was warm enough (for me) to go sledding on Friday.  When we first got to the park, we went away from everyone on the "big hill" and started on a small one...

Emma was not too sure, but after contemplation, she did it and loved it!  You should have seen how long she contemplated the big hill.

Madi, on the other hand, went right down several times and was ready for the big hill.  I have to note Madi's open mouth.  Too cute.  I tired to get that child to go strait down the hill.  It was nerve racking at times as there were others on the big hill.

Now for the big hill...

The girls would occasionally wipe out, especially Madi, since she is more daring and doesn't take caution like her sister,  until I got smart and thought maybe they shouldn't hold onto the rope, but instead, the sides of the sled.  After they tried that, no more wipe outs; maybe one or two?

Madi's wipe out....

Notice the snow flying in all three pictures.  And the sled sliding away from Madi.  Good wipe out Madi.

Emma's wipe out...

I was afraid this would end Emma's sledding career, but she got right up and continued on.  Proud of you Emma.

Time Flew.  The girls had a blast.  Madi won a race with boys.  No one got hurt.  I joined in the last few times.  Ready to go again.
