Yea for family traditions. Jeremy's family heads up Parley's Canyon during October Conference weekend for some good ol' ice blocking fun. His family has perfected the ice block so that it is more than the simple cube bought from the store, it is now a colorful, easily carried sled of fun. Our girls have never been ice blocking before and though they started out hesitantly they quickly came to realize how much fun it was to slide down that hill.
McKenzie and Jeremy crashed on one of their first runs down and after that she hung out on a smaller hill for awhile.
But crashing while holding a toddler is not easy so we didn't mind the bunny hill where crashing was nearly impossible.
Cambrie had to get over her fear of sliding down the hill backwards. But after that we couldn't get her to stop.
Penguin style
Of course once you slide down the hill you have to carry your ice block back up. The girls could drag/pull their blocks up the bunny hill mostly on their own.
Bruce cruising and...
Jeremy sliding. There is always a competition to see who can sled the furthest. Daniel, Christian, and Jan were the top competitors. Unfortunately our boys don't have enough weight behind them to be too competitive.
Kelton is still too young to slide down on one of these speed machines, but we needed proof he was there for the fun too.
Capturing this silly face sliding photo was remarkably more difficult than it looks, but we got it!
