Snow Much Fun Sledding!

A few weeks before Christmas we surprised the kids for Family Night and went sledding. We drove over to Payson and went sledding at Peteetneet where the girls also have their Irish dance. During the holidays they had Christmas lights set up and also had Christmas music being played over the speakers which was fun. We left right when the girls got home from school, so we were pretty lucky that we beat the crowd. We thought it would be really crowded, but when we got there, there was one other mom and her two kids and that was it for a good hour before it started to get crowded. The kids had a blast, and Emery loved it, of course she didn't have to do anything but sit there because Chase would pull her back up the hill because it was too slick and steep for her to walk it herself. At one point Chase tried to take the kids down the all ice part with several jumps and I was very against it, so he didn't. I just pictured the kids flying off and cracking their heads open. If you look in the pictures maybe you can see behind on the far side how it's just ice and lots of bumps, too scary, at least for mom. We had a great time and it wasn't too cold either, which was nice. There's even a token picture of me with the kids, since being pregnant I wasn't actively able to participate in the sledding.
