Sledding at Ft.Ben - Feb 17


Took the kids to 'The Hill' at Ft. Ben to go sledding. There was still a lot of snow on the ground, a lot of it was really icy, so the sleds and tubes got going really fast. There was also a little snow ramp that someone had built that Jared was loving going over on his sled.
Then he decided to go over it in the tube and he got catapulted into the air and then he dropped straight down on his back and head when he went over it.
 
After having a mom moment and checking him all over, he just had all the air knocked out of him and his head hurt pretty bad, no blood, no dizziness, so he got up, gave me the tube and said "I want to try again with the sled". Go Jared!
Syd was a little apprehensive about going over the ramp at full speed so she went half the way up the hill and dragged her feet all the way to the ramp and then went over the side of it. At least she tried. 

The kids loved tubing down the hill, it was super fast even with the ice blowing up in your face! Anyway, it was a lot of fun and a good break from the regular routine!
