Cures for the Winter blaws

Winter is getting long and old. I am SO ready for spring. Bug always says "I can't wait until....(fill in the blank)" and recently it's been "I can't wait until summer" and I'm right there with him. Last week we went cross country skiing for Family night- It was just getting dark- so the pictures are a bit dark- I haven't photoshopped them yet- Roo falling down- silly kid- he's really good at skiing- but he gets going too fast and falls plop! on his back.
2 bigger boys skiing around the park-On Friday for Bug's Birthday we went sledding. Here's Bug- taking flight after a jump. Doodle and Bug on their way back up the hill
Roo was so funny. We got to the sledding hill, and he takes one look at the hill and decides he's NOT going to go down it. So he sat at the top for a while, then kicked his sled down the hill. We told him he'd need to go get his sled. So he tromps to the bottom of the hill. a few minutes later he walks up the hill 2 feet, sets his sled down and climbs on it, and sleds down. He decided that wasn't too bad, so he pulls the sled back up the hill, about a foot higher than the last time, hops on and slides down. So Ben and I walked halfway down and told him to bring his sled up to us. "Nope," he replied, "I'm just going up by inches." Ben and I walked down to about where Roo was putting his sled on the hill (now about 5-6 feet from the bottom) and watched him sled down. As he went down, we took a few steps back up the hill. And Roo would come back up to us, set his sled down and go on down the hill. Eventually he was more than 3/4 the way back up the hill, and Roo looks at us from the bottom of the hill, "HEY, you guys keep moving up!" Yup- we had. lol. Me and Roo on the sled.
