The Jensen Family's Little Viking Tales: Taking on the Big Hill

Since the boys had so much fun sledding in Mormor's backyard, we decided to meet up with our friends, the Jergensens, and take on the big hill up by the park. After a few days of searching for snow pants, we finally found some for Soren. Who would have thought it would be so difficult to find kids' snow pants in Utah in the middle of winter? But hooray for my friend, Pat Peterson, and her idea to try Sears. They had the right size and the right price! Soren loved the pants and kept them on all day. He didn't take them off until it was time for pajamas that night. The boys had fun sledding in the double sled, on the disc, and in their bucket sleds as well. For the most part, it was without injury, although Gabe had a good wipeout one time and didn't like the snow in his face. I kept telling him "You'll be fine" to which he responded in his sad little cry, "No I won't." But he got over it and continued sledding. We stayed for about three hours. I was surprised at how long they lasted, and I was impressed at how well Soren and Gabe shared the sleds and played together. It doesn't always work that way. I thought both of them would be exhausted and want a nap, but only Gabe succumbed.
