***First a note to all Spaghetti Factory lovers: Tomorrow is the last day of their 40th Anniversary celebration, which includes 40% off many of their entrees. Their adult meals are about $5 and kids meals are around $2 and all meals include ice-cream.
Anyway, back to sledding. We had a favorite spot up on the mountain by Cedar Hills, but this year they had it all blocked off. Well, I guess it did go over a
tiny part of the golf course... so we ended up at a city park in Lindon.
It was pretty fun. The hills were not too big and the kids even played on the swing set while we were there. Someone had been thoughtful enough to build a jump half way down the hill... about 10 feet in front of a big pole. Let's think things through, people! But Sunshine still managed to get some great air off that jump! Thunder tried to find another steep spot on the hill, and just about cracked his head open to protect Sunshine when they both flew off the sled together.
Cloudburst decided that she wanted to do the monkey bars, even though it was about 15 degrees outside. She tried a few times, cried and got really upset and I told her it was OK to wait until summer! But she had it in her head that she MUST DO THE MONKEYBARS. So she tucked her hands inside her coat to warm them up, took a big breath and scooted across every last bar as fast as she could. I thought she was crazy, but was proud of her for sticking with it!
