sleigh ride

Grandpa Scott bought Kai his first sled so we took him sledding for the first time on Christmas Eve. We dressed him up in his snowsuit so that he was nice and warm but he hated getting dressed. It seems that it was also too warm for him in the house because he kept squirming around. But as soon as we went outside, he was a happy camper. We first just pulled him in the sled, but apparently this was not enough excitement because he just leaned back in the sled to a point that he was lying down flat...It almost looked like he was sleeping! But this "dead" reaction soon changed when we pushed him down the hill. He loved the speed and had a big smile on his face. Needless to say, Kai was exhausted after all the sledding and he quickly knocked out for his afternoon nap! The only downside was that Jason and I had to keep pulling him back up the hill and we were very sore. It was a fun family's day out and it made us more happy about building on our lot where we have the hills right in our backyard.
