Sledding at Tay Lodge

Brrrr, it's a cold day outside, but we all decided to brave the cold and go sledding with the Regans. After piling on layer after layer we made our way to the car, where I realized that William looked like that kid from Christmas Story. He's nearly the right age, too. I guess it's time to forbid him from putting his tongue on a flag pole in the winter.

Anyway, we arrived at the hill to find it deserted! Very strange, but hey, we had the hill all to ourselves. Once we exited the car, we realized why; the wind up there, combined with the cold made it downright in-hospitable!

After the first few runs, we had our first case of frostbite; Joe decided he had enough, so Patrick took him to the car to warm up. His little brother Dan was tettering between being cold enough to give up and having so much fun he wanted to stay. The rest of the kids were way on the fun+stay side.

After about 45 minutes though, everyone had enough of the wind blown snow slapping us in the face and called it quits. It was our second sledding adventure this year, and while the ground conditions were better than the first, but air conditions were considerably worse.

We got home and drank hot chocolate and played mouse trap, and relaxed in the warmth of the house.
