This has been a FABULOUS Christmas Eve for outside activities. While it is cold (about 7 degrees above zero), there is still much that a family can do when there is an abundance of snow and you have two willing boys. After warming up at home, we headed out as a foursome over to Riverside Park in St. Cloud (across the river from the university). They have a wonderful sledding hill and groomed cross country trails...something for everyone!
We started out sledding and found that two on the green sled meant going the fastest and the farthest. The new blue sled was good but took some wicked turns without any warning. Orn wasn't appropriately dressed so he spent some time warming up in the van while I did a loop on the cross country ski trail. When I got back to where the boys were sledding they had abandoned the normal hill for the one with JUMPS! The first thing I saw was Hans going airborne by about 3 feet as he flew on his stomach over the jump. The kid has no fear and a high pain tolerance. I immediately figured that I would take some Advil on his behalf when we got home!! :)
