New Year's Sledding

Some traditions are hard to shake! One of those at our house is the New Year's sledding activity on Bemis Hill. This has been going on for at least the last 7-8 years, maybe even more. When we moved to Roseau, it was a yearly Young Men/Young Women activity that they invited the branch to. Now it has just turned into a straight Branch activity. And the kids LOVE it. Especially when it's not -20 like it was last year.

 Sledding isn't the same without lots of food to share.

 Ethan was too hot and shed his coat first thing.

 Sister DeKay and Brenden

 The Elders showed up at 10 a.m. - they didn't get the memo that 10 really means 11:30.

 Eli went up and down the hill so fast, I barely caught any pictures of him.

 Here's Ethan's ride

 Getting funner...

 Even catching some air

 And the crash at the end.

 Not sure if Olivia can see or not...

 Elder Woolley decided to spin his sled beforehand

 And ended up like this

 And then this.

 This little girl has her Daddy wrapped!

 Not long after this, hoards of other people started showing up...I guess everyone else realized how fun New Year's at Bemis can be (or maybe it's just because it was 26 degrees this year and not -20 like last.)

Check off another successful year of sledding - may not make it back until next New Year's!
