Sledding On the Mesa

We got these old school snow suite from my mother-in-law. They are the ones my husband's brother Marc wore when he was little. Don't they look awesome?!


Thanks, to my friend Paula, for inviting us to go sledding this past weekend. We had a Blast!! Because the more the merry, we also invited our friends Ivan and Ruby and family to come along. Instead of going to old Powderhorn (which is ALWAYS packed, busy and a little unsafe, they had two kids helivaced out the day before) we went to the other side of the Mesa to a large open hill that was just right for sledding especially with small kids. Our boys had no trouble walking up the hill themselves and totally loved the trip down.

In the Parking Lot-Shermie, Nic, Matthew, Tuffer, Valarie, Vivian, and Ruby


Matthew and Nic managed to get under the only tree close enough to run into.
Luckily the hill wasn't steep enough in this spot to be going fast.
Nic sled right out of his boots. (they were a little big, but the only ones we could find, for the most part it wasn't a problem)


Shermie after a face plant. He is on the right.

Even Sherman and Ivan seemed to have a great time of it. Here is Sherman going down the hill and getting his wind knocked out.


Here is Ivan and Vivian at a slow pace.

Come to my house. You can sled in the backyard...very convenient...to bad we still don't own any sleds..just beach stuff.
