Hitting the Neighborhood Slopes

The hills in our neighborhood may not be really high...

but they sure are fast!

And they are REALLY fun!

And they are absolutely filled with kids.

And are definitely filled with laughter. 

I don't think anyone could tell you how many times each kid went down and then climbed back up the hill. 

Sometimes there were unexpected endings (aka crashes) into a garage... 

And not everyone has full winter gear, since it is generally not needed.

They rode down the hill in every combination you can imagine... 

The only really consistant thing was the laughing! 

We did figure out that these plastic toboggans were the fastest.

But we didn't have very many, so the boys came up with their own solution--just pile on, and hang on tight!

Love those little pink cheeks! And yes, she does own a hat, but it was really rather warm (relatively speaking, of course). 

And eventually the grown-up folk just couldn't resist giving the slopes a slide too!
