Sledding will be fun!

We decided that Black Friday was as good as any day to go sledding without a crowd so we headed to the big hill at Sugarhouse park. It has just snowed 2 days before so we thought the snow would still be soft... WRONG! ... it was pretty icy! I got all the boys ready and they headed on up the hill, by the time I had gotten myself ready they had all gone down the hill once. And loved it
All my boys at the top of the big hill - looked pretty intimidating from where I was standing watching my boys coming at me on a piece of plastic.

Here is Bryson heading down the hill and Preston heading back up the hill. It was looking to be a fun outing and afternoon, until...

He hit a bump and off he went tumbling over and over.

Keep in mind my camera can take like 4 pics in a second so, no I wasn't just snapping photos of him hurting... I ran over just as this nice couple did. He was crying and was done. He had come right down on an ice ball as you can see in the picture were in plethora. I looked at his hip later that evening and he had quite a bruise. Poor guy.

Darren took Weston down the big hill and he loved it!

They got going pretty fast and the snow was flying with Darren's boots hitting the ground


Weston and Daddy walking away from the fun slide like champions

Preston coming down the hill - he was going so fast! And wanted to go all alone

Preston slid all the way to the hay bail barriers - he loved it!

Weston being a big boy and going down all alone... he took of with the sled and headed up the hill alone. So we followed him up about 15 feet and put him on it to go down alone. No he didn't go down the entire hill... are you crazy!

Two seconds after I took the picture of him going down the hill, he biffs it and flips off.... Thank goodness for helmets

Weston with Daddy crying - he hit his cheek and had a little scrap, the snow was so icy and had chips of hard ice all over
Preston going down the other hill
Darren catching Preston so he doesn't slide over the street and into the pond -

Bryson putting on his grumpy face so he didn't have to go down again
Weston not wanting to go again either...

When Darren caught Preston, the stop hurt him a bit so he was done after that, to sum it all up about 5 rides down the hill, all three boys have now been hurt and are/were crying... we are done and packing up. Next time we will find a hill that has soft snow and a flat bottom. That is if we can get them to go again!
