Snowmobiling & Sledding In Circles

The boys and I went snowmobiling at Grandpa's house for the first time (me too!) over the weekend - We had so much FUN! There was even a little snowmobile that Carter and Dillon got to drive all by themselves, holy cow are we lucky or what?!

Dillon only crashed once, into a little tree. I only crashed once too, yes, me. Dillon and I took the big snowmobile down the street together so we could go fast - the kiddie one only goes about 8 miles per hour - so down the street we went and we got up to 25 or 30 miles per hour and I think that was more than fast enough, for me at least. So after I turned the thing around to head back home I tried to go up a little snow hill. I didn't give it enough gas and wasn't going fast enough up the hill and we went over on our side. It really wasn't a big deal, we were in soft snow - but Dillon was so P/Oed (really, he was pissed) at me that he walked all the way back to the house! HAHAHA! He wouldn't go with me again after that....oh well.
Yeah, see that picture below? All smiles. Its OK when he crashes, but not when I crash.
Here we are sledding down the driveway hill, I was on a little plastic disc and decided to record my ride. Round and round we go! I crashed into a snowbank at the end of my ride, you see my feet come up at the end and hear me go "ugh!". So I suppose that makes two crashes for me :)


Thank you Grandpa!!!

Forever Memories for the wee ones...
altho, I think we adults cherish these moments even more as we reflect on the good times when we arrive at my age. How wonderful your father has a cabin allowing you to embrace these wonderful family memories.
