Al & Ayden Sledding

Here are pictures on Al and Ayden sledding together. Ayden has had a lot more fun this year than last. He is a lot braver, but still likes to go down with dad.

Ben Sledding

Ben has really become an adventurous sledder. He has started to go off the jumps and wants to do the faster & steeper hills. We have also tried to find faster sleds. It is hard to find ones that don't have stoppers on the bottoms. We finally found a few at Sam's Club.

Building a fort

The boys have really gotten into being in the snow more this year. They have taken lessons from our teenage neighbor on how to best build a tunnel. Here are some pictures of them building their first. I am sure they will venture out and build other better ones as the years progress. Ben has been talking about the neighbor's igloo, which he poured water over the top of. The boys found this extremely interesting. Hunter is now a very cool person on their list. They have also really enjoyed sledding and have braved the hill a few times already this year. I am not quit ready to let them go to the field down the street by themselves, even though they are really ready.

Only in MN

Here are pictures on us playing at the playground in the snow with all of our gear on. Only in MN would people do this; and we weren't the only ones there. The boys had a great time and we enjoyed hot chocolate when we were done.
