Some things we do

Well, we spend a lot of time snow sleighing since it doesn't cost anything and the kids are getting pretty good at it. Although we are all getting a little careless! That's how it goes, right? We keep climbing higher up the mountain so we can go longer and faster down. This Sunday, we climbed up to the top of one mountain but were a little disappointed in the view. We were not disappointed with the ride down though, much less work and a little faster... no, a lot faster!
We always tell the kids to bail out of the sleigh if they think they are going to hit a tree and can't turn in time. Samantha flew down the mountain on one ride and Steve and I had to jump to get out of her way. Me, with my cat-like reflexes was able to move out of harms way. I'm not sure how Steve managed it, but she flew between his legs! Oh, how I would have loved to have a camera on that one! After Samantha had overcome the shock, she hopped on the back of Auby's sleigh only for them to crash. Auby's face was crammed into the snow as Samantha rolled over him. He was so angry with her until he realized the had an Anakin Skywalker scare on his face. Did I mention he uses the "force" to guide himself down the hill? So far, so good.
Anyway, we decided that it was time to load up and go home. Better stop while we're ahead!
