sledding in flagstaff

This is becoming tradition. Going up to Flagstaff with the Nielsens on the Martin Luther King holiday. It is something my kids look forward to all year. They have so much fun. We go up Sunday night and check in to the residence inn in Flagstaff and drink hot chocolate, play games, and talk. All the kids are up bright and early terrorizing the patrons at the free breakfast. Than we hit the little slopes right outside the hotel. Then we check out and find other fun hills. We went to this snow park (I think oak creek, or something) and than went to another hill at Fort Tutthill. The weather was perfect! We had 13 crazy kids and amazingly no broken bones. Above is Jacob in the last run of the day. Below is Dave and I, with me cackling all the way down the mountain. This was the ONLY time I went down and I have a huge bruise on my be-hind to prove it. The real reason I put this one below on is Leah going down after us. So funny, and so Leah. You gotta love her. There are tons of other funny runs, but I haven't learned how to splice my videos. I got Flip video for Christmas and it is the coolest thing EVER! I love it. You can carry it in your pocket it is so tiny. It is so easy to use, and than you just plug it into your computer and it downloads. Truly AWESome. I have been videoing all the time now. love, love, love it!
off, off, and I gooooo!
