Beaver Creek Sledding

After a snowstorm this past March, we took the Grandma's and headed to the mountains for a bit of sledding.  It was great!  Brooklyn is taking a spill in the photo above.

My mom has never been shy in participating in activities that make you holler.  She lived up to her reputation and showed that sledding hill who was boss!  Way to go Grandma!

If there are actual talents in sledding, Madison definitely possesses them.  She only got dumped off of the sled once and all the other times she held on like a pro bull rider.  There wasn't no bucking that little girl off of her plastic rocket.

Even mommy got in on the action and let out her famous screams.  I love it when Becca has her "I think I'm having fun but this is scary" screams.  So awesome!

Brooklyn is getting going from the top of the hill.  The nice part about sledding this time as compared with a few years ago was that the girls could carry their own sleds up the hill...yes!

Brooklyn was the master of tumbles.  She took some great ones, and always came up with a smile wanting to sled some more.

Grandma and Brooklyn doubled up for extra fun.  They definitely went zipping down the hill faster and had a great tumble at the bottom!

Paige makes the best faces when she is hurtling down something uncontrollably.  She didn't always know what to think about the whole sledding experience, but she wasn't going to be left out by her big sisters.

Becca and I had a great run together...only one though.  Becca hates the feeling of uncontrollability that comes with sledding, and adding my extra mass to the scenario only adds to that feeling.  We did great though, although we were a little big for the sled.

Paige is seen cutting a new trail though the fresh powder.  It made her go a little slower that way, which I think she liked.

Grandma had to get a run in with me, so we gave it a shot.  Once again, two adults on a children's sled was a little much, but it worked out.

Poor little Paigey did have some epic crashes.  It was so fun to see her go flying through the air and wonder what had just happened.

Despite her unsettled condition, she still kept climbing back up the hill for more not to be outdone by everyone else.
