Ice Blocking

Charity was the only one that really got it going at a resonable speed. She was pretty good at balancing.


They were all really good at pushing them back up too- which is always surprising.


Lukey rolled down the hill a lot :)


Kelly had fun even though I think she's just too light.


For Brad it was more like one of those little car things for kids, where you push with your feet :) he loved it though.


These pictures are much harder to get centered when you have 2 wild little boys in your arms :)


Toward the end Charity was doing all sorts of daring feats- on her feet, knees, tummy, but as she puts it "those are kind of a little bit more dangerous :)"


Kelly wanted to be in one too :)


Saturday, Leah was out there on "our hill" (that's what my kids call the water retention pond out back) ice blocking with her Primary class. They had some blocks leftover, and offered them to us. Thanks again Leah!! So Monday night the kids and I went out and tried out the blocks. It was kind of funny because it wasn't working very well. We were going really slow. If anyone saw us they were probably laughing. But my kids, being the good kids that they (usually) are, had fun anyway!! They of course fought over whose turn it was and such, but they couldn't stop thanking me all night for the fun idea (again, thanks Leah) and for letting them do such a fun thing :) It was awesome :)

How fun! That was such a popular thing to do in college, but I've never actually done it or have even seen how it's done.
