When there are no hills.... use alternatives.

We follow Uncly Johnny's example and headed to the sugar beet pile to do some sledding! It worked.... kinda. We need about 5 more inches of snow and it would be amazing!
Climbing up got more tricky, the beets started getting loose.
My favorite girl! It was so cute, she and I were at the top and she had already gone down on her bum and had come back up. I was standing there wondering if I really want to go down. She says, "Don't be scared Mom, it's not scary." I had to really listen to her and give it a try. I'm not sure my tailbone would agree, but I went down! Once on my bum and once on a tube. Heidi even went down on a tube, 2X. Tyler loved going on his bum.

The wild bunch at the top!

It was a fun, crazy thing to do, and not much chance of injury. The best part!

What a fun idea! Do the sugar beet coop people mind? Great place to sled!

How fun!! Oh how I wish we were coming home for Christmas. At one of our parks we saw they were making a man made hill to sled on. I am sure it will be crazy busy since it is the only hill around.
