Sledding at Slab Cabin

We had a great fun family night Saturday. We'd gotten about 10" of snow last week (which the guy across the street was kind enough to PLOW out of my driveway!), which meant that Slab Cabin Park was open for after-dark sledding. We met Levi's friends (Jake and Cameron) at the slope--they were having a sleepover at Cam's.

There are 3 different slopes, and Sadie (age 5) was a little hesitant about the whole deal, since this was her first "real" sledding (we have a little hill in our side yard). But after the first trip down the hill with me, she was hooked!

We started sledding around 8:30, and Kim wanted us to be heading home around 9:30, which is just about the time that Levi ended up in the creek that borders the hill! We had warned all the kids about the creek, and the kids had been pretty good about bailing out just before taking the plunge. Not Levi...he was soaked! He hit his head on a rock, but he's got a hard head! I hope the rock is feeling better.

I got them all headed toward the van, them made the trek to the tippy-top of the hill for one long last run on the runner sled. Lilly named it American Eagle, which is appropriate, since that's what the manufacturer stamped on the top of the thing! What a ride! I cruised past all the fam walking, and rode that baby almost all the way back to the parking area.

We got home and warmed up with a mug of Meyer's Dairy chocolate milk heated up...mmm, good.

Good times. And no one left a mean note on my windshield!
