Sledding Fun

Last weekend, I sent an email to our playgroup saying we were going sledding that morning if anyone wanted to join us. Of course, with the way our days seem to go, we ended up going an hour later than originally planned (Charlie’s morning nap was a long one). We didn’t have high hopes of seeing anyone we knew, but that was okay.

Eli always takes a minute to warm up to the plan…

But he had a great time sledding down the hill with Ben.

Charlie was so cute in the little red sled that matched his coat -

I went down a few times with Eli too. Here we are, starting to climb back up the hill.

The fun thing is that we did end up seeing some friends – here are Jack and Jane (too bad her name wasn’t Jill) zooming down the hill -

Poor Charlie could barely move with his snow pants and gear on -

By this time, Eli was having a great time! He loved the sledding.

Ben talking to Jane’s dad, John -

Charlie leaning against Ben for support – he looks like the Michelin Man -

Ben took Charlie down the hill – Charlie had a blast.

Then Eli started getting more brave and went down on his stomach, head first!

So Eli went down on his belly and Ben went down with Charlie at the same time -

Jane walking up the hill with her brother, Elliott -

It was cute to see Eli having fun with kids a little older than him -

Charlie sprawled out on the big sled -

Jack was sweet with Eli and helped him carry his sled up the hill -

It wasn’t too crowded, so Eli could sled down pretty safely.

Charlie was tuckered out by the end… it was cold and his eyes were watering. We all had a lot of fun though!
