On New Years day we headed to Cascades to do some serious sledding. When we arrived we were the only car in the parking lot. Of course I pointed this out to Nate and his reply "Who else is silly enough to be out sledding at 10:00 am the day after New Years Eve?". I guess he had a point. We had a hard time getting Sutton to the top of the hill, he was more interested in playing on the playground equipment. I only experienced complete fear once, let me explain. The snow was really packed on the hill we were sledding on and we have a really fast sled, so I was not real happy when Nate decided he would send Leland down alone. The whole way down Leland was backwards and the seemed to be getting closer and closer to an approaching pine tree. Nate's response to my pleas to do something "he knows to bail", my response "he's going backwards and remember he is only 3. Well thankfully he made it past the tree, but by then he had gained a fair amount of speed and was then heading for the road. Thankfully he came to a stop before reaching the road. This trip made me realize that the hill on the walk out wasn't so bad after all!!
