Sledding

On 15Dec2007, the 5 of us went sledding as a family for the first time. Like going to the beach, sledding is one of those micro-activities that is a glimpse into the developing personality of each of the kids.

Eli: Bold, but cautious. He would not go down from the top of the hill, but he had a blast going from a safe height.

Vivi: After much coaxing, she tried it once, got snow in her face, and spent the rest of the time sitting the snow next to alternating adults.

Mina: Reckless abandon -- she went down, landed on her face and climbed right back up to go again. She also wandered off to make tracks in the untouched snow on the 'flats'.
