Sledding!

Thanks to the huge dumping of snow we got (all during my drive home from yesterday's haircut) today was the perfect day to break out the sleds the boys got for Christmas. Neither kid had even been sledding before, and actually, neither had my Louisiana Man. So, after breakfast at McDonald's with an oil change next door, followed by naps for BOTH boys we then hit the slopes. Err, hill.


Easton was so very excited and got to wear waterproof snow pants for the first time. That's a good thing to have.


Dalton has a really cool enclosed sled. He was bundled not unlike Maggie Simpson in her star suit. Nice and toasty in there.

We wished we had a big labrador to pull him around, it seemed perfect. Instead Jason and I took turns pulling Dalton on the flat ground while the other one sled with Easton.

We had a blast, except the newly recharged batteries in the camera crapped out on us after this pic of me and E:


When Dalton was lulled to sleep in his little sled we had to resort to using the camera phone to capture how precious it was:


Look at how we tied him to the sign like a doggie. But hey, you don't want your 11 month old sliding solo down a steep hill...


Sledding was fun, we let Easton go by himself a few times towards the end and he did great. He liked just running around, plopping down for spontaneous snow angels, or "surprising" us with a snowball. He's definitely a snow bunny. Good thing we get a lot of it here.
