Sledding Party

Wow, we've been a busy little family the past few days! This afternoon we headed to Neosho with several families from our church for an afternoon of sledding. The lake is frozen over and the snowmobile races were last week, so everything was set for some fun. We didn't have sleds, but there were plenty to share. The boys have never been sledding and had a grand time. Matthew went on his own right away but Ben needed Daddy's help once or twice before he flew solo. They went down in pairs and trios more times than I could count. There were also sled rides behind an ATV out on the lake itself and the boys took a turn or two with that.

I let Anna sleep for a bit in the car before getting her out to join the fun. She and Daddy went down the hill four or five times and he also pulled her around on the sled. It took her a few minutes to wake up, but she loved it once she did. We also sent her down a small hill on her own. She had a great time watching all of the big kids as well.

Afterwards we went back to the hosts' home and had a hot dog supper. The boys behaved pretty well and even Anna ate at the kids' table. I think this was our first gathering where we didn't have to sit with a child! Wow....adult conversation!

The boys are already talking about their next sledding adventure. They had a blast and they behaved well, so I think we'll take them again.
