Fun, Fun, Fun



What a doosie!! Kev would like you to think that he "duked" out a few bad guys and walked away with only this beauty, but...the harsh reality is..a barricade got the best of him. He was trying to release it, and it popped up and got him right in the eye. No long term damage, just this sweet shiner. (It was getting to be about time for another work-related injury!!) He's making a full recovery, and milking it for all it's worth. (He does look pretty tough though!!)


Next up...SNOW DAY!! We finally got ourselves together and took the kids sledding on New Year's Day. It was a wonderful way to spend the afternoon. The kids have been begging us to go and it was finally bearable outside to go. So, we bundled up and headed out... it was awesome. Our kids are...fearless. They grabbed the sleds and they were gone.

Here's the BIG kids...we had a few good runs too.


Luke was hillarious...he was determined to sled...with our without a ride down. He has a butt..why not make the most of it!



Here he is on the sled that Grandpa restored for him for his birthday. He loved it!! We watched him go down...his arms were stretched out to the sides...he wasn't holding on as he was flying down the hill. We could hear him laughing though.



B and her friend were sledding too. She was on another little hill and cruising as fast as she could go as well. She found the hill with a jump...



Here's are biggest dare-devil. He couldn't get back up the hill fast enough. He'd just get going, then dump himself over the edge and roll down the rest of the way. His cheeks were bright red by the time we were done. We wore them all out!!



We had a great time sledding with the kids. It was some great family time well spent! Now that the kids have all the "proper" snow gear...I guess we'll have to take them more. It was fun and I have to say...we made it with no injuries. (Quick,knock on wood!!) Even better, we were the only ones on the hill. Mom and dad weren't so paranoid. We even jumped on the sleds and had a couple of runs ourselves. We even got a bit of a workout in!
