THE HILL

Well, we ended up having quite a few SNOW DAYS the last month or so! We have an awesome hill behind our house for sledding! Typically, most of the neighbors come over and sled and everyone is in and out of our house to warm up with hot cocoa! I love having all of our friends over.....even though my carpet looks fabulous the next day! Ha! :)

We have actually started having people from anywhere and everywhere, who have heard about our hill, drop by on snow days! Anyone is welcome! We actually counted how many people had come and gone one day at the end of January and it was over 50!!! There is a lake at the bottom of the hill, and although there have been a few times some of the kids have gotten a little too close for my liking- it has never been a problem! Well, unfortunately, after ice fell on the snow- the hill was probably competitive with some of those in the Winter Olympics, and we had a friend sled right into the lake. Scary stuff- but he was fine after a warm bath and was out sledding again an hour later..... this time with about 5-6 adult men standing at the bottom of the hill to "catch" those sledding a little too fast! I think Bunky and I will start having parents sign waivers before they sled after that experience! Just kidding! It really is a lot of fun so I wanted to post a few pictures!
