Hogans Hill

I took the kids to Hogans Hill today which is a very popular place to take kids sledding! Popular it was too! Lots of people were there having the time of their lives. I however watched the kids, the worst was trying to get up the hill when they were finished!

Crazy! I think they should have steps to climb up on or get another rope since the last one was stolen? Whatever! It was way too much torture for ME to go down I know. I would have never made it back up again and well my toes were pretty much already froze stiff! After all I did have 3 pair of socks and well the boots were apparently NOT well insulated! I do not go sledding! I do not even like cold, remember me?I'm PALMTREEFANATIC! I need hot sun warmth and of course Palmtrees real or fake I don't even care! I thought I was going to DIE just standing in the cold. (sigh) I finally went into the Van and took the freezing boots off and put my toes over the heat vent which I guess helped a little then I had to put them back on and thats it we are outa here! Enough is enough! After all I knew after 1 hr in this cold with snow blowing at you that the kids had to be cold right? Would they finally give in? PLEASE already, Ok finally We went home and had chicken and rice soup and hot chocolate warmed up and followed it by Ice cream ( I know, it just made us all cold again but they wanted it) Now they are winding down and should sleep good tonight!!! soon I hope! Let me tell you WHY I don't go sledding. I had a VERY bad experience, like ummm 9 years ago? It was the dumbest day EVER to do such a thing! We went to Hogans Hill and were the ONLY ones there (which should have told me something) Anyway Dear Husband and I and Adam our only at the time went there and it was not snowy it was ICEY! It was a sunday Most things were closed Even church and all I could think was that it would be extra fun to slide down the hill....Well We did and 1 trip down my coat flipped up and I cut my back all the way down OUCH! It messed

my thinking up, been afraid of it ever since! missing out? maybe but I don't care! All I know is when it happened I knew that was IT for me! so thats my story! Usually our dear Friend Bob from church take the kids so we don't fret it too much! And Maybe just maybe Sometime I will get the courage though I hope I don't wait tooo long after all I am not getting any younger...Oh BTW, sorry I did not get but only 1 pic of Jelena she was always down the hill, that is her with the red hat coming up the hill with kedric anyway enjoy the photos, its the best I could get...well I better get my menu ready to post tomorrow...I got some great tasting ones I want to try from the new taste of home magazine! OH and BTW the plans got totally changed, so we still have NOT seen the pirates of the Caribean movie, I guess we will someday....
