Snow fun!

We have had lots of snow recently, so to celebrate winter, we went sledding at the park across the street. We bundled everyone up and dusted off the sleds. Andy and I each pulled a sled with a girl.

The sledding hill isn't that big, but it is one of about three sledding spots in Chicago, so we are lucky that it is so close. The hill has a nice soft slope on one side and a steeper slope on another side.

When we got to the hill, I wanted Alli to try the gently sloping side. Andy was excited to get her going as fast as possible down the steep side. We have different approaches when it comes to playing... mom is the life guard, and dad is the stunt coordinator.

Alli liked my slow side until Andy hurled her down the fast side. That was much more fun. Alli didn't mind crashing either. She had a great time. Andy had fun too.

Ruby was content to sit in her little sled pod and watch all the action. Andy did take her down the hill once, but she didn't seem to notice.
