Sledding

One of the high points of winter in Montana is sledding. Sometimes you will get lucky, have lots of snow and it is really nice out, today was one of those days. We have a high of 39, got about 9 inches of snow the other day with most of it around and best of all the sun was out. We got a call to see if we would like to join a bunch of people down at Pioneer Park so I got the kids bundled up and we went down for the party. While we where there Emily ran into a friend of hers named Angle and after that point those two never left each others side, in fact they held hands to make sure they didn't leave each others side, and they kept holding all the way down. They even tried to use the same sled, however it doesn't work so well when you are on a saucer sled instead of a long one. They had so much fun and spent about two hours going up and down the hill sometimes with the help of a push, sometimes with people,
sometimes alone, sometimes with everyone on different sleds and sometimes a quick bail out so they didn't hit a tree. After those two hours Emily was looking tried and my toes were very cold so we headed home so they could play with friends at the house and drink some very yummy hot chocolate. For a winter day it was as good as it gets.
