Sledding

For President’s Day weekend, we headed down to Ashland for the weekend.  We left Thursday afternoon, and Shane and I spent some time celebrating our 10 year anniversary at Callahan’s up by Mount Ashland while my parent’s watched the kids.  When we got back Saturday, we drove up Greensprings to Hyatt Lake to go sledding.  The spot we went was really nice, and there was even a nice cabin that had a fireplace where we could warm up and eat lunch.  The kids had a lot of fun. Landon was a little nervous his first time down the little hill, but after that, he was unstoppable.  He would go down the hill, hike back up to the top, and go down again.  He even eventually wanted to go down the big hill, and hiked clear up it and went down that a few times too.  James was equally as excited, and he even went down the big hill with Shane once, and he loved going down the little hills and being pulled in the sled.  Davis was the only one not as interested in sledding.  He went down once, and we couldn’t convince him to do it again.  He still had a ton of fun playing in the snow and pulling around a sled behind him.

Davis pulling his sled around, and James having fun throwing snowballs.  He thought this was pretty fun, and would yell “Yay!” with his hands in the air each time he threw one.

   

Here are a few pictures Stacey took (so you can see proof that I was there too!)

     

It started snowing pretty good towards the end, but we still had a lot of fun.  We’ll have to go again when we can stay a little longer!
