Sledding

The best way to burn time and energy in Minnesota is sledding. Especially on beautiful, sunny, fantastic days. This is a hill at UMD that the girls love.

Slide (or "snowboard") down...

 

...trek back up

Sometimes your sled gets away from you and you learn the importance of grip and paying attention to your sled rather than messing with your little sister.

Rest for a second at the top of the hill.

Be adorable.

And the very best part of the whole day, watching Sophie get into her sled.

It's hard to get a good shot, but I did try.

One more time for good measure.

Grandma and I did not sled, since we didn't have appropriate snow gear with us. So, the very last downhill of the day, we grabbed the sleds from the girls and flew down!
