Sledding With Z

We have visitors for the weekend, Nicole's parents George, Michelle and nephew Zander. Nicole's sister Ally also joined us. Ally came out in the morning and joined us for Yoga. George, Shel and Zander arrived at 11:00. George hadn't seen the basement yet so they came up for the weekend. It was such a beautiful day, had to be 40 degrees in the sun. Zander decided at about 1:00 he wanted to go sledding so we went outside and tried out the big hill. Off of our driveway we have a decent hill that goes down to the backyard, but this year the snow plow has been pushing driveway snow into a huge pile that made for a perfect runway out into the backyard. We covered 50-60 yards on the sled and it was a lot of fun. Zander was not scared to go by himself, and Zander set the record by himself for distance. First he and Nicole had the record, then Zander and I beat that record, but when Papa came out to join us he and I gave Zander the biggest push possible and he set the record by himself. We pushed him so hard he fell back in the sled on the way down. We had many crashes and wrecks but they were all funny and no one got hurt.
Now we are settling in for some Gopher sports, Hockey vs. Colorado College at 3:00 and then Basketball vs. Indiana at 7:00. We plan to hit our favorite burger place in Hudson called Barker's between games.
Enjoy the pictures and hopefully you can get out and enjoy the weekend weather.
