We went sledding up Emigration Canyon this weekend at Little Mountain. It's our favorite sledding spot, because you get dropped off at the top of the canyon and then sled down the mountain (almost a mile long), cross the highway and end up at the bottom. You get back into the warm car and do it all again. No walking required!! It's a steep, bumpy ride, so usually little kids are scared. But Taylor has been begging us to take him, so we decided to try it. Usually I just take the kids sledding at the park, or over at the hill at the church.
Aunt Nat came with us and she was kind enough to take Emily on her sled.
Emily was unusally brave and LOVED sledding! She went down the mellow half a couple of times, and then decided she was ready to try the whole mountain. She tried to change her mind, but I had already driven away, so down she went! We were proud of her and happy that she had fun getting white washed in the face, (being in front of the sled is a cold, icy spot).
Danny and Taylor were having a blast! Taylor went with Danny a few times and then decided he wanted to go on his own sled. He went down super fast, andreally out of control! I don't think he realized he was being dangerous and reckless, and could have really gotten hurt, but he has a fantastic afternoon in the snow!
Isaac was such a good sport, he didn't even get out of his car seat the whole time. We just kept driving up and down the canyon for a few hours. He kept entertained with books, cars and unlimited drinks and snacks! He is such a funny guy and constantly keeps us entertained. We can't wait for the next snow storm so we can go sledding in some fresh, new powder!
