The Only Way to Fly

We started off a little bumpy today. Harlow is teething and was a little cranky-pants and there was some confusion about our sleigh ride (which was canceled), but after we got past those two things and got some of Rafe & Caroline's awesome chili in our bellies all was right with the world. Allan, Caleb, Rafe, Caroline and Sus went sledding on the golf course and it was MAJOR. Not only is it probably the coldest day since we got here, but that hill is serious. The snow and wind yesterday created some deep powder and just getting to the hill was exhausting.

There was a nice collection of kids on the hill dare deviling on saucers and in tubes... but we did them one better. We had the toboggan. It's the only way to fly. Man that thing can move. And in the unofficial battle of who could go the farthest, it was Allan by a nose, followed by Caleb and Susan close behind (seriously, I almost had them). Don't be fooled though, we also had some excellent wipe outs and Rafe & Caroline had a snow-toss fight (they didn't bother to make snowballs). Jen and Melissa arrived just as we were leaving and they too had some good, solid, competitive, sledding fun.

Now we are settling in for Nanci and Allan's shrimp dinner and getting ready for a rowdy New Year's Eve. Party!!!
