Sledding Adventures

Liam and I (Shawn here), went up into the mountains this morning for Liam's first sledding experience. He actually surprised me with his enthusiasm on the hill. Our reserved little guy wanted to go down the big hill by himself. I decided it best to test drive the hill with both of us in the sled. Ya, the sled he's on is the same one I crammed my butt into with his as well. He kicked me off the sled because my feet kept hitting the snow (because they didn't fit in the sled) and sprayed snow up into his face. He did get his opportunity to go down the big hill by himself, and after the sled turned over he decided the smaller hill was a better choice. Here are a few pictures of the morning, and some commentary of what was going through Liam's head...

OK, here I go...

That was cool, I want to do that 5 more times (said almost verbatim after the first 3 times down).
Hey dad, how bout some help with this sled...
OK dad, you can put the camera down and help me bring the sled back next time!
Here are a couple videos I took before he asked me to put the camera away and help him take the sled back to the top...

What a fun Daddy and son day! If he loves sledding that much, I guess you guys are going to have to come here during January next year ;)
Looks like a wonderful day to spend a Saturday.

That looks like so much fun, but I am glad that our snow is gone. Tired of the winter months. Liam, have Daddy take his own sled next time and race him down the hill. That would be lots of fun!!!
