"Sliding"

Over the Christmas break, we were fortunate enough to borrow some sleds from our great friends, the Shawcrofts (thanks, friends!). We took an afternoon and had a great time "sliding" as the kids called it. We started on the "bunny hill" at the elementary school, but that wasn't good enough for Roland and Eric so we drove up to Traverse Mountain and found a totally awesome park with tons of huge "runs". It was a great day (until the end when Lydie was completely exhausted and broke down! ).

Au cours des vacances de Noël, nous avons eu la chance d'emprunter les traîneaux de nos bons amis, les Shawcrofts (merci, les amis!). Nous avons pris un après-midi et avons eu beaucoup de plaisir à « glisser » comme l'appelaient les enfants. Nous avons commencé sur la colline à l'école primaire, mais ce n'était pas assez bien pour Roland et Eric alors nous sommes allés sur la montagne et avons trouvé un super parc immense avec des tonnes de « pentes ». C’était une superbe journée (jusqu'à la fin lorsque Lydie était complètement épuisée !).

TAKE ME HOME!
IL EST TEMPS DE RENTRER !

Jeremy took the kids to the school on Christmas Eve, and they had a good time. We've never done much sledding, but my kids are hooked!
