Corwin makes the long trek to the hill
I took a break this afternoon from my near non-stop code slinging to go out with the gang for some sledding. We got about 3-4 inches of snow and it was cold so the conditions were reasonably good. We took Matias and Andreas for good measure.
Everyone had a good time, even Alice. Alice did not, however, go sledding. Everytime Mom got her anywhere near a slope, she’d panic and want some Mommy snugging. It’s hard to believe that Destructo-Baby is scared of anything, but I suspect that she’ll be doing crazy things on the slopes soon enough.
Corwin and I took a run. Either the conditions were much better than last time or Corwin’s put on weight, because I even after some last second foot braking I had to dump us so we didn’t go flying out in to the street.
There were also a lot of kids who walked back up in the sledding areas, which I thought was something that would have been knocked out of them long before (although I only saw one collision resulting from this while we were out). A couple of other parents noted the same thing and we all agreed that there wouldn’t be much sympathy for any body who got plowed while walking up the slope.
All in all, it was a good time, if a short one, since I made everyone leave when the sun went down and we didnt’ get out on the slopes till 4:15.
I to shoot a few videos:
