Down the Slippery Slopes

This past Saturday, when there was still enough snow on the ground, I took Nolan sledding for the first time.  Nolan received the sled for his birthday from Great Grandma and Grandpa Young, and we were excited to test it out.  The size of the sled was perfect and Nolan thought it was pretty darn cool.  Aunt Kelby helped me bundle Nolan up in his snow suit.  I'm glad he finally get some use out of his snow suit.

Ready for some sledding action

 Papa T leading Nolan to the pond dam.  It has a small slope, perfect for Nolan.

He was so puffy, he couldn't put his arms down!

Papa T and Uncle Jaron positioned Nolan at the top of the hill, while Aunt Kelby and I stood at the bottom to catch Nolan.  We thought we had it planned out perfect, but we didn't see the bump, literally, in the hill.  Poor Nolan, the sled hit the bump and sent him and the sled on its side.  Nolan had so much padding on he wasn't hurt, but it did scare him and MOMMY!!  

 Here he goes...... and CRASH!!

Aunt Kelby to the rescue.

Needless to say, I did not take a picture of the crash because we were all tending to Nolan.  He only cried for about 20 seconds and was good to go.  Papa T said he had to get back on the horse and do it again, so we chose a bump free hill and went again.  Much smoother, no crash, and all smiles!!

I figured Nolan had enough of the snow and I was getting cold, mommy forgot her snow suit.  We took Nolan back inside, undressed him, and let him play for a bit.  Overall it was a good experience, only one crash and lots of smiles!
