Sledding on Christmas Day

While Mike and Phil were out on the snowmobiles, they came upon this great hill and came back to get the kids. They spent several hours sliding down the hill on tubes and then having the uncles haul them back to the top over and over again. They were soooo tired when they came home. They went to bed so quickly, I thought we might intentionally build our next house on a hill just to see if we could have an easy night more often. These big black snow sleds are actually game sleds for hunters. They are used to carry the dead deer back to camp. Grandpa bought 2 several years ago and they have been affectionately named the "Aunt buckets" because mom and dad took our aunts and even my Grandma Nelda sledding in them. The high sides keep everyone safely inside the bucket. It also fits several people at once. What a fun end to a great weekend. We left the cabin Monday morning and headed back to Aunt Jess's house for the rest of our vacation.
