Sledding on our day off

Yesterday on our day off of school we decided to join the rest of Provo and go sledding at Rock Canyon park. We stayed on the inside of the bowl this time, so as to avoid the emergency room. We enjoyed the company of both crazy freshman who brought plastic bags and mattresses, and a large latino fiesta who did it up in style with hot chocolate and donuts under the pavillion. The boys are strong enough to go up and down on their own now, so June and I enjoyed watching from the top.

The long walk back up

Oliver eyeing the run - scouting out the best jumps

Brenden full-speed ahead

The kids were willing to pause just a moment for a pose

Although June has braved several of the slides at 7-Peaks, we didn't make her go down the hill on a sled this time (mostly because Mom didn't really want to)

All tuckered out

It is hard work, but it's also one of the best ways to spend a day off of school. I love the kids getting so much exercise. And I love boys being old enough to walk up and down the hills themselves!

what a fun, brave mom. Looks like a lot of work to me. Good thing we don't have snow around for this to be an issue this year...
