Several months before Andrew's birthday he decided he wanted to go sledding for his party. So that's what we did! We went to Bart's Field at ISU and the kids had a hoot! The snow was just right for sledding and the weather was perfect!
From left to right we have Caleb, Joshua, McKay, Jon in the back, Seth, Andrew, Maryn, and Reiley.
The energy these guys had to keep walking up the hill was amazing!
Jon gave the kids an extra boost to go faster and they kept asking for more! There's Andrew getting a big PUSH! And Caleb's getting the all out WHOOSH!
Clockwise from the top left: Andrew, Joshua, Seth, and Joshua watching Caleb.
You don't realize how amazing the view is from Bart's Field until you stop and take a look.
I love how Jon gets into the action with the kids!
Then back to our house we went where there was hot cocoa waiting for us and some yummy chocolate cake! It's nice to come back to a warm house after having fun sledding!
P.S. I had some really fun pictures of the cake but I can't find them so I'll just describe it a bit since this isn't the best view. It was a dragon cake. On the green hill I put a couple silly bands in the shape of dragons walking on the hill and then a dragon character from the movie How to Train Your Dragon flying in the sky. Andrew really wanted an Astro Boy cake but no luck finding stuff for that. He loves dragons though so I thought it would work too.
