Sledding Photos

There are quite a few. I would edit, but a day of sledding followed by a day of janitoring at the preschool and a few other things at home, my aching back says I can only do so much more before it gives out! I will insert a few captions, but I have Indie waiting to see these, so I'm in a hurry! And I need a massage, but since I won't be getting one, a super hot bubble bath is calling my name!


I believe these are from Sunday. The roads were solid ice, no car traffic but plenty of kid on sled traffic. Two kids on our street collided with the STOP sign and a light post. The light post one was right in front of me. I couldn't believe she was fine.
So here's Gib and his amigo Brett. Yes, Brett is wearing a pink coat. Yes, I gave him a bad time!
His coat was at his dad's house and everyone was snowed in...so he used his sister's old coat :)


Aaah, to be 10 yrs old, in a pink coat, and just finished going 25 mph downhill!

OK - do it again!!



From the Top
(see the lightpost by the fireplug?
that's the one! the 1st girl turned the corner, the 2nd one cut it too close)

Here they come!








MONDAY
The sled run between Lara's house and ours



I think this was Gib's first run - right into a tree!
He almost broke his collarbone. He cut the inside of his mouth - We told him to put snow pack on it! His nose is scraped up a bit. :)












The Tree that Gib crashed into - He's showing the mark he made with his face







FINALLY GOT TIRED OF OUR HILL
AND MOVED TO THE BOWL!!!







My job was videographer and sled holder!
I like Taryn helping!

That's SO MUCH SNOW!!! Crazy! Almost broken bones = amazing sledding. Good job, Gib. Must have been pretty slick. I wish I could have participated in the fun! Love ya'll!

Great pictures! You have the perfect place to sled. Looks like everyone had fun, you- Chrissy included! Gib sounds like how my son used to be, their not having fun until something dangerous has happened and they actually survive it! Unfortunately we take snow for granted here in Indiana, I forgotten how much fun it could be! Enjoy it while it lasts.
