Hitting the Slopes

Uncle Will and Aunt Daniele gave Nash and Nolan new sleds for Christmas.  Today they invited us over to hit the slopes behind their house.  We decided to take advantage of all the snow left behind by the big snow storm this week.

We skipped afternoon naps (and payed for it later), bundled up, and made the quick trip over to their house.  Nolan went down the hill twice but after he got some snow in his face he decided he liked the slide and swing better.

Nash liked the playground equipment too but before we left he was going down the hill all by himself.

Will, Jason, and I took a few trips down the hill too.  Daniele decided she would rather play photographer.

Getting down the hill is always the easy part.  Getting up the hill proved pretty difficult.  Especially since the snow half way down the hill was more than knee deep!  What a workout!

We enjoyed some hot chocolate while we thawed out then headed home.  Both boys were ready for bed a little earlier than normal tonight.  Let's be honest, I was too!  Thanks Will and Daniele for helping us break in the new sleds and for the yummy hot chocolate.
