Snow in January

Yes, our snow hill normally involves only guys

(not that girls are excluded or anything;)

Bets, bragging, ragging... you get the idea...

is all part of the FUN!

(I need some guy help here - can't think of the terminology they use)

Luke really is a lot smaller than everyone else - don't worry, he is not left out!

A short story:

Earlier in the season, Luke built up the courage to sled down the hill by himself...

What a surprise after his initial refusal to sled at all!

At first, he would steal a ride with his daddy, but occasionally Patrick would go alone. After one such solo ride, he turned around to trudge back up the hill only to see Luke flying towards him. Being at the bottom, he was easily able to stop Luke before he plowed into the briars/ditch :)

This continued for quite a while when "bubbies" requested to take a turn.

Hmmmmmm, what appeared to be a fine idea, in reality, turned out to be much harder to execute...

Luke came flying down (he is quite light;)...

Drew sidestepped...

Sean missed...

and Luke sailed into the briars.

Thereafter, he was not nearly as brave, and his "sledding" became quite interesting;)

A SLOW ride on Aidan's back after much cajoling.

This video portrays his favorite method:

And also a short clip of the big boys:)

I love taking pics or just standing in the window watching, smiling, laughing!

My family brings me so much joy and pleasure!
