Sledding

When I was a kid I used to love to go sledding, actually I still do. I remember asking mom if she could take us to the dike to go sledding. Jacob is the same way. With the winter we’ve had this year we haven’t been able to get outside to play very much. The weather has been so cold this year. In February Lane and I decided we should take MaKena sledding. Jacob was at his dad’s so he wasn’t able to join us. The only sledding MaKena has done was in our front yard on a man (actually woman) made hill. She loved it so I had a feeling she’d enjoy going down a bigger hill. What kid wouldn’t? Thankfully we didn’t have to go all the way down to the dike; instead we went to the hill in West Fargo. It was a little windy and cold the day we went but that didn’t matter to her. She had a lot of fun. I think she would have stayed all day if we would have let her. A couple weeks later I took both kids back to the hill to do some more sledding. This time MaKena went down the hill in the sled all by herself. It’s so fun to see the look on their faces and hear them scream as they are sliding down the hill. It brings me back to when I was a kid. Hopefully we can go sledding one more time before the snow is gone.
