Fun Sledding

A few days after walking across the lake we got a bunch of snow.  The older kids decided to take snow machines up the mountain for some fun in the new snow.  The younger kids felt left out since there wasn't room for them so Dayton and I promised to take them sledding a couple days later.  

So a few days later we headed up the trail with the toboggan and sleds hooked up to the back of the snow machine to find a good sledding hill.  



There were quite a few crashes.



And quite a bit of this.


Staggering the sleds might work a bit better next time.


But it wouldn't be nearly as fun. :)


Once we found a good hill everyone had fun sledding and snowboarding.



Joshua just got a real snowboard for his birthday so all the boys are on a snowboarding kick.  They had to practice.

                                              Benjamin                                                 David

                                                Caleb                                                   Joshua

We built a jump at the bottom of the hill.


That was a lot of fun but also meant a lot of this.



Benjamin had his own problematic spot.  

This particular spot tends to send you up on the edge of the track a bit and Benjamin never could get past it.


Sarah had fun going down the hill in the sled.


Benjamin's facial expressions while going down the hill were pretty good.


The jump was pretty fun in the sled too.




Sorry for the photo overload but it was a pretty fun trip. :)

We're heading out on our grand adventure down the Alcan today.  Half the family is already on their way to Anchorage and the rest of us are waiting for the second flight.
It should be fun!!
