Snow Days

      We finally got some decent accumulation.  We had a blast outside with our neighbors and then we met the Toomeys and the Trentadues at the neighborhood hill for some real sledding.  By the time we got there the hill had been well used.   That didn't stop Sam from trying to go over the "jump" that had been fashioned by the huge pipe.

We forgot to mention to the Trentadues (who met us late) that there was a creek at the bottom of the hill.  Aimee and I were taking pics at the bottom of the hill when we saw this kid come flying down on a sled... right into the creek.  We didn't realize until we'd fished him out that it was Josh!

     Matt & Brock managed to avoid the creek.  

Mike didn't realize it was a creek.  Poor Josh!  He was a trooper with a fresh set of gloves and his hat turned inside out.

 By the end of the day Sam and Gavin had both taken the plunge as well.  Gavin's had to take the    cake.  He flipped over into the creek head first.  He was soaked through.  The Toomeys shared their hot chocolate and it was time to head home.  

  

            

I also got some good footage of the Oberles (who managed to stay out of the creek), but didn't manage a totally accident-free outing.   

   

We had a blast!
