Yesterday was the perfect spring day (70 degrees!!) and we spent almost all of it outside. We played at the park and then headed up to the mountain for some spring sledding!! We met some friends from the valley who have an 8-year-old daughter and 5-year-old son. Kate was completely enamored with them, especially Ella. She kept saying "I want to do what Ella's doing!" One thing Ella was doing was hiking up the steep (actually, very steep) hill and sledding down on her belly. Ryan intended to take Kate part way up and sled down with her, but I soon heard screaming coming from halfway up the hill. I thought she was scared to go down because she was shrieking "NO!" Of course, Ryan had no choice but to pile her in and sled down. When they got to the bottom, I found out that Kate was not scared. She was MAD as could be because daddy didn't let her do to the top and slide down on her belly, face first ALL BY HERSELF. We eventually had to compromise and let her go on her belly, face first, by herself, but from only about halfway up. Luckily, Ella decided to build a snowman after awhile, so Kate got distracted. Otherwise we'd probably still be there! :)
