Sledding on MLK Day

The youth hosted a family sledding day up at Tahoe Meadows on MLK day.  It was a beautiful day.  It was warm, too warm for coats, and by the end everyone had shed hats, scarves, coats, etc.  The hill was somewhat dangerous. Some brilliant nitwit dug a huge pit in the middle of a run that caused multiple injuries, until one of the more responsible YW took matters into her own hands and filled it in.  There was also a fairly large jump, that looked pretty jarring to me, but was popular with the boys.
Lucy and Ellie:
 Clara ready for action:
 Lucy didn't do much sledding, because I think like me, she doesn't find it terribly fun.  It is kind of painful.  But here is one of her runs:
 Some of Anders wild rides:


 Tucker sat out for awhile.  He was not happy after his drop into the pit:
 Clara and Anders took a breather to enjoy cookies and hot chocolate:
 Tucker finally recovered from his injuries and had at the jump:



 You will notice Laurel hard at work filling in the pit:

 Clara spent most of her time playing.  Soffia and Clara made some hot cocoa art:
 And then Clara, Soffia, and Kaisley built a snow fort:

It was a very fun way to spend a day out of school, and the not so cold weather was nice and gentle after a week in Hawaii.

Good times. I love the action shots.

P.S. No pressure or anything, but I want to see the Cafe de Valenine post. I couldn't see anything very well on Instagram.

That jumping looks painful! Fun day, though. And that Clara - making art wherever she goes.
