Playing at the Park and Sledding...

Thursday we headed out for some sun at the park. Thanks to soccer we have a new favorite park, Madera Park in Citrus Heights. It's fenced in, although there isn't a gate, but only one entrance. Big and small toys, swings and room to run make it great for everyone.

Learning his monkey skills from Cody.

Whee!

Thursdays other funny revolved around breakfast.
Ty came to me as I was getting ready to see what was for breakfast.
Told him I wasn't sure yet, we'll have to see what's in the kitchen.
He says, " I want a donut!"
I say, "Not this morning, we're eating at home."
He says, "But Mom, my tummy says it's hungry for a donut, so we Need to have donuts"
I say, "well your tummy will have to get over it."
He says, "Fine!"

The boy has a bit of an imagination on him.

Anyway, Friday we headed up to find some snow. It's been rather warm here this last week and we were about 30 miles from Tahoe before we found it. So we found the sled hill and off they went.

Ready to go...

Tyler ready, in his just too big outfit, poor second kid.

Up the hill. The big orange sled didn't last long as we're pretty sure it was warped over the summer and veered to the right. No lean steering, just went where it pleased.

Almost there...

Cody was quite the dare devil and went clear to the top of each run, bumped and curved his way down.

Tyler had a blast! He ended up backwards most runs, but he didn't care.

Cody in a crash and roll...

Oops, there goes Ty as well...

There were many of these trains, fun to watch.

One last run...

Smiley boy...

On the way to the car, they found a mini hill to climb and slide.

We had a good day, the weather was great and the hill wasn't too terribly crowded. We stopped and had Red Robin on the way home for an early dinner, a nice way to end our day out.

Today, Saturday, the boys headed to a pow-wow with Keith, having a good, long day out. I caught a movie, Dear John, and did the weekly shopping alone. One of those little things that shouldn't be a big deal, but it nice when it's a solo trip.

We'll end the weekend with a Birthday party for one of Cody's buddies, then it's back to school on Monday. Hope we can get up on time!
