We had quite the sledding adventure on Christmas Eve. We showed up at a big hill that had gotten rained on that morning and was a solid sheet of ice... with and amphitheater at the bottom. Right away some red flags went up as Mallory and Claire headed down the hill for the first run and almost crashed into the cement wall at the bottom. The next couple runs involved people crashing into the hay bales at the bottom at full speed, and then Finn getting crashed into by Libbie and then Henry. He ended up with a little road rash on his face, despite the fact that he landed on top of Libbie. The fun didn't end there... Libbie ended up missing a hay bale and being clothes lined in the ribs by a cable that supports the amphitheater roof. That was the end of that ice hill, and that was only after about 10 minutes.
Here are a few action shots. Nathan and Jaren only coming from half the distance.
Mia showing no fear.
Claire and Mallory making a turn away from the chaos.
Can you tell by Gavin's face that he sees a hay bale fast approaching for the second time in a row?
Caleb screeching to a halt.
Finally we loaded up and went to a much smaller hill for a lot less excitement, but still plenty of fun.
