Toboganing in the Rouge Valley....

We took the kids to a huge hill down in the Rouge Valley over the holidays, and we had an amazing time.

Of course no one remembered their cameras.

Most of the snow was gone, but the hill was covered in ice. Actually just getting to the hill was a challenge in itself, the parking lot is not serviced during the winter, so it was totally covered in ice. I myself ended up on my rear end more than once.

I think even if we didn't get to the hill, the kids just had fun being pulled in the parking lot.

Kerri was the first casualty of the day, she was trying to cross the hill to send Alexis down, lost her footing and slid fifty feet down the hill. I think almost everyone of us ended up sliding down on our bums without sleds.

The kids were thrilled, to be be going down such a big hill, and it was such a great day. I'm sure we will go back again.
