Next Weekend We'll Be In Hawaii...

....but this weekend we went SLEDDING in 13 degree weather!  Talk about two extremes!  We were able to figure out where we use to go with YM/YW growing up in Hermiston and had a blast!  We were shocked to get back to the car and realize that we were out for 3 1/2 hours...boy are we paying for it now, talk about some sore muscles from all of the crashes!
 We went up to Andy's Prarie, which is a HUGE bowl that you can sled down from all directions...one side is WAY high and WAY steep.  We got tired of the hike up after a few times and went down the shorter side for the majority of the time...but not before Rick took the boogie board down the steepest part!
 As you can see...
 that was a BIG mistake!  He crashed HARD at the bottom!  Ashlyn rode a tube down the steepest/highest part and crashed at the bottom, going head over heels multiple times...it took quite a bit of convincing to get her to go back down, but she did and LOVED it.
Blake was the only one who went time and time again down the biggest part. I snapped this picture right before he CREAMED me! Layed me flat out...but I got the picture and that's all that mattered.
 We are so glad to be less than an hour away from all the snow to go and play, but not have to deal with it at all here at home...we had a TON of fun up there today and can't wait to go back.

How fun! I can't wait for next winter when Bailey will be old enough for us to take her.
