Sleding with David's Class

David's kindergarten class decided to take advantage of the snow. They invited any families who wanted to go sledding to come join the class as they went sledding down the school hill. David was pretty excited to go and was very excited that his family was coming too.

Donovan and Michael thought is was simply splendid that they could join the "big kids" and go sledding at David's school. They didn't waste any time and jumped right in with the class.

David wasted no time hitting the slopes. He went down, and ran up, and went down, and ran up. We had to help him remember that he had to share the sled with his family.

For some reason Aleky felt content to sit back and watch. But the other boys were not so content.

Michael was ready to prove his boyhood and headed down the slope solo. He wasn't quite a quick to run up the slope but he was having a blast.

Donovan was doing great too. Occasionally he would get distracted by the mountain of snow and forget he need to return the sled to the top of the hill.

I couldn't resist the temptation to join my boys on the slopes. So with a simple invitation from Donovan, off we went.

Michelle suggested that Aleky, for all of his patience, really wanted to hit the slopes like his brothers. Well, there's only one way to find out. He loved it! He had a smile and some giggles all the way down.

But what a wimp I turned out to be. Michelle took most of the family in a single trip! None of this one kid at a time stuff. We have 4 boys who all want to go at the same time. Well, Michelle is the mom who can do it!

Alas, what a mean husband I turned out to be. After all the fun and sledding, Michelle ended up packing the boys back to the car.
