Sledding Fun

Today was my Mom's birthday. Since I'm also homeschooling my niece who lives with her, I headed over for a visit. I had to get my niece going on the next semester of school work. I also made a cake for my mom & surprised her with that. I also gave her a gift card to Christian Book Distributors so she can either get some movies or some books.

Shortly after lunch my boys starting begging to go sledding. Their is a road behind my parents barn that was perfect for sledding. My younger sister was there with her boyfriend. My niece was also there with her boyfriend. I think they had almost has much fun as my boys. I was the official photographer along with my Mom. My sister's boyfriend drove the Gator back & forth hauling everyone back up the hill.

This is my niece's boyfriend going down with my younger son. J has NO fear at all. They were cruising & he was just having SO much fun.

My niece's horses headed closer to where we were to check out what was going on with all those silly people. I think Java is the one in the blue blanket & Ollie is in the white. (Dyanne, correct me if I'm wrong, k?)

Notice how J isn't even holding on to anything!!!! I swear this kid will be the one to give me gray hairs.

N LOVES to go sledding. He was having SUCH a great time. He's my other daredevil.

I took this photo of Dyanne (my niece) & B right before they crashed. This is a two-person tube. That makes it fun. However, you simply cannot steer it - at all. They hit the bank & went head over heels. B went inside with Ninny (my mom) & had a bit of TLC & a break. He came back out raring to go. However, he told me, "I'm riding alone from now on!"

See - look at J! His hands are just resting on Dyanne's legs. But the face! You can tell he was having a great time.

This is Jon heading back up the hill. They did walk quite a bit. I took it just to show how much SNOW was on his BACK! ::grin:: He wiped out A LOT.

This is my sister sliding with her daughter. Yeah, they were having fun.

I think this one is pretty priceless. Of course, J is STILL not hanging on! LOL Silly kid.

B heading down alone in his tube. He rode this pretty much all day. It did go up on to the snowbanks rather well.

My sister is crazy. I LOVE the looks on her face in the photo above & the one below. Too funny! My Mom & I were busting a gut watching everyone slide. It was SO funny!

And for the last photo - this is my niece heading down with her boyfriend. Can you see her hair? Can you tell how fast they were going? They were cruising. Let me tell you that! I think they wiped out shortly after I took this photo. ::grin::

I took over 60 photos today. The majority of them were of the people sliding. I loved all the expressions on all the faces as they came whipping by. We did have a really great time. Of course, this does mean that we'll have to bring out sleds with us from now one when we head over to visit.
