SLEDDING

No matter how much I grumble and grown at the first flake of a huge snow storm Porter rejoices! We always know in the next day or two there will be a "sledding event". For Porter sledding is not to be taken lightly. It is serious business, complete with a Papa Joe's portable heater. Everyone is required to take a turn. ONLY Tata is excused "on account of she has a baby in her belly" (Porter's words). Porter has us all trained and we have the process down. Someone stands at the top to push him and help with the loading, someone at the bottom to catch him, and keep him from shooting into the road, a camera man on the way down, and someone to carry the sled back up. While I am not a fan of the snow and hate being cold I do enjoy the laughter, and love the memories we have made as a family on Boggi's front hill.


On one of many of Burk's turns Porter went backwards.

Porter got going so fast we were sure he was going to go back up the hill and into the road on the other side of the sidewalk.

Here is Cody, with Tata huddled by the heater.

Even Rebby, bundled up and came out to see the fun.

Papa's turn.

And now Mom.

A little to quick for the Bog.

the famous break and heating station

WOOOOOOO HOOOOOOOO!!

Another snow storm, another sledding event gone by with a happy little man and no injuries.
