Today after church I went over to the McKee's house. I was in the mood to do a little sledding on their fabulous hill. Karsten and I got to the house first and there was no talking him into sledding. Wimp! And would you believe that they hadn't been sledding at all yet with this snowfall? Unbelievable.
So finally Kristie got home with Kaden and Kasen; they wanted to eat before they would go sledding. So I waited around for them to eat lunch and then had to practically beg to get them outside with me. What's up with these yahoos?
Kristie basically dressed the boys and after much arm twisting I got them outside. It was AWESOME! The snow was perfect and after we went down the hill a couple of times, the snow was packed and it made for some seriously FAST sledding.
The only downside... this 46 year old body doesn't recuperate from a backwards somersault downhill like it used to. LOL... I was riding one of the boys' saucers cross legged and ended up going backwards down hill, the saucer dug into the snow and sent me tumbling downhill backwards. Thank heavens for ibuprofen! ;-D
In order to get the boys outside, I told them we'd only be out there for 15-20 minutes; just enough time to go down the hill two or three times. While we sledding downhill, a car drove up the driveway. It was Dina (Scott) Kricher and her family (husband, Dennis and kids - Kacey, Colton and Conner). Dina is a former classmate of Kristie's. She and her family saw the boys and I sledding and decided to stop and see if they could join the fun. So our 20 minute outting turned into about an hour. I don't know about the boys, but I had an absolute blast!
Since I was sledding I didn't take too many photos, but I did capture a couple and I even convinced Kaden to take one of me.

Kaden going downhill standing up, too.
Yep, that's me heading down the hill and trying not to run over the photographer (Kaden)!
Here's to all you middle agers out there who refuse to act your age! And feeling very grateful to God for giving me a healthy body so I can play with the kids in the snow.
