We're in Utah!! the drive was fine. we woke up super late on Tuesday. we were supposed to leave at 4 a.m. but we set the alarm and it never went off! i woke up at 5:50 and yelled to mister studly. we rushed to get ready and the kids up and ready and we got on the road at 6:15. We made great time, the roads were fine even thought there was a lot of snow and the kids did GREAT!!! moma was so good. she was perfect the whole way and never had any issues. thumper was good almost the whole way. he got fussy towards the end of the trip and so i went and sat with him and talked and sang to him and he was fine.
Today.... we went sledding!! it was moma's first time and she was so excited. until she realized what "sledding" actually was. then she wasn't too happy. she got pretty scared.
Here I am all bundled up and ready for some sledding.
Here we are at the top of the hill.
Okay, so here i am on my second run of the day. The first run was a little scary. i haven't been sledding in years and i was the first to go down the hill all the way. the first part of the hill was nice and easy, then it sort of leveled out a bit and then there was another steep hill to go down. i couldn't see the very bottom of the hill so i started out and only meant to go down the first hill, but then i got turned around and started going down the second part of the hill. i was flying! i wasn't sure what to do. i was thinking... "should i bail out now or should i try and ride it out?" i wasn't sure which would be less painful so i decided to just go for it. BIG MISTAKE!!! the bottom of the second hill had a 4 foot drop off of which i couldn't see from the top (and because i was headed down backwards, i still couldn't see it) so when i hit that, i caught some major air and then when i landed, i smacked the back of my head on the ground. hard. i had to lay there for minute to get my bearings. i was a little afraid to move because my eye balls felt like they were going to pop out of my head. mister studly and his brother came running down to see if i was okay yelling "why didn't you bail out?" and "whoa honey... you caught some good air!!" so after i realized that i was okay and just going to have a headache, i got up and went again.
Here I am at the end of my second run which was successful (we moved to a safer spot)
Uncle M
Uncle M and Moma. She's a little freaked out.
Moma getting ready to try it.
Here she goes!
Her face was priceless. I wish I had been zoomed in on just her face. Complete terror.
After the run, trying to decide if she should be happy or be crying.We had a fun day. I did some extra shopping today and got some fun stuff for everyone. moma got a present for her dad and brother except she has tried to tell her dad what she got for him about 5 times already. i knew that was going to happen. he keeps saying "DON'T TELL ME!!" when she starts. then she cries because she wants to tell him. it's kind of funny.
I'm sure I'll be posting just about every day of our trip with all the fun things we're up to. so keep reading!!
Merry Christmas Eve!
