texas sledding

the other day we were itching to get out, so  we decided to go check out the live band that plays on friday nights at a nearby park.

as we were jammin' to the music and eating our popcorn, we noticed a bunch of kids across the way going down the hill in cardboard boxes.

well that caught van's attention, so dad ran home to get a box for him to try it out

he was instantly hooked, and spent the good part of an hour "sledding" down the hill

it was even cool enough for the "almost teenager"

meanwhile, the little toddler was walking around like she owned the place. mia walking = no rest for the parents

and as we were leaving, van noticed the beautiful sky and wanted me to get a picture so he could remember how the sun looked shining through the clouds. i must admit, texas skies are beautiful, and their alternative for sledding isn't half bad either.
