Sledding with the Hornes!

For New Year's Eve this year we decided to take the family and head up to the hills for a sledding adventure. We went with a great family in our ward named the Hornes. There is a state park called Hyak about 45 minutes away. The park rangers groom a sledding hill that is perfect; not too long but just long enough, not too steep but just steep enough. You pay 10 bucks to park so the price is right! Here are some pics and videos. Enjoy...


When we were done we had some hot chocolate, tail gate style. On the way home I gave the family a bit of a scare. :-) I wanted (no, I needed) to test how slick the road was. So of course, I gunned it around a turn exiting the parking lot. Well we all found out that the road was very slippery! We did a 180 and surprised the Hornes when they came around the corner and found us facing them. Good times! Needless to say we went slower the rest of the way on the snow packed roads!

Hey - that looks like a lot of fun. It's been interesting reading all of Tony's families blogs (those who live in Seattle) and seeing all the snow. Crazy, but fun!
