McKinley Went Sledding!

Last weekend we had the annual winter party at Bear Lake and I decided it would be a great time to take McKinley sledding for the first time. We bundled up and were headed out.

On the first run Robbie, McKinley and I went down together. The sled we picked was a little slow, we didn't go too far and we turned around backwards. McKinley totally loved it and started laughing. On the second run we got the tabogan and the three of us headed down again. We got some decent speed, so before the jump over the ditch Robbie and I drug our feet to stop, thinking it probably wasn't a good idea to go off a jump with little McKinley on board.

On the third run Robbie wanted to get video so McKinley and I went down alone. We got going so fast, I couldn't stop us, so we went off the jump and over the ditch! There was some nice fresh powder for a landing on the other side. Unfortunately, when we hit the soft powder it came flying up in our faces, so McKinley and I were covered. Then, we almost hit a tree and finally stopped. She wasn't too happy about the snow on her face and started crying, so that was our last run! I'm excited to take her sledding again.

Sounds like fun until that last run! I really want to take Gabrie sledding but I'm sure it would end about the same- after a run or two she'd be done. No stamina these babies (:
