Kelley enjoyed her first sledding this morning with Mommy and again in the afternoon with Daddy. Although she's seen snow before on a hiking trail, she's never experienced snowing and stomping about in it up to her knees.

Our little hill near the house provided the best entertainment. I made the mistake of taking her down the large hill in the back, through totally fresh light fluffy snow several inches deep. The problem: waves of snow flew up and drenched us in cold water even though we were sitting up in the sled.

Kelley did not like that one bit. I hope she remembers the fun on the little hill rather than the cold on the big one when we next go out to play. I'll be sure to go down the big hill a couple times first to blaze a trail and pack down the run before taking her down.

The big hill was really fun though!
