Even my parents get in on the sledding action.
Hey, can anyone tell me why there were such LONG shadows? I know the sun isn't as high in the sky as in summer, but these were all taken within a half an hour of NOON. The long shadows make it look like late afternoon or early morning. Any ideas?
Notice the icy cloud of breath--it was THAT cold! Yet thanks to the sun and lots of action, it actually felt warmer than last year (20 degrees, but icy 40 mph winds).
I also managed to get a few runs in while taking LOTS of pictures.
After sledding, we gather for food, games, and gifts.
I had to include these last two pictures. Apparently, eating MULTIPLE suckers at a time is all the rage :)!

Great shots, Gayle! This looks like such a fun family event.
I was thinking about the shadows and wondering if they are longer because you are downhill. If the ground was flat, perhaps the shadows would be shorter but since the ground is sloping down maybe that makes for longer shadows. Just a guess. :)
Jessica--you might be right. I was down hill from them and I am sure that affected the length of some of the shadows in my photos. However, I still marvel at how low the sun was in the sky!! I was getting sun flare type shots that are usually only possible in the early or late hours of daylight.
Ally is hilarious in these pictures! In everyone about she looks like she is completely horrified! It's so hilarious! It was so fun! Great pictures
Brooke--Ali would like you to know that it was especially horrifying when she went down with you. I was wondering if anyone would notice her expression. In EVERY picture she had that same expression--I think because she was screaming!
We only went together on the tobaggon and that thing i has never crashed, or at least i have never seen it crash so it shouldn't have been terrifying! I also have no doubt whatsoever in my mind that Ali was screaming all the way down on every run she went on!
Oh I've been waiting for these! I'm so sad we couldn't be there this year. We stayed home this Christmas. (my mom's not well, as you know)
I love all the sledding shots and how everyone has huge smiles on their faces! I think you can't sit on a sled and keep your mouth closed...unwritten rule! I love how happy everyone is! That one of your mom on the tube was great, too!!
That looks like so much fun! Where did you go?
I think I saw more tongue in those sledding pictures than I saw in "Top Gun"!
I love the muted background of the sledding pictures. The white hills with the sage green accents is just perfect.
And of course, I love the shot of my son with 3 suckers in his mouth! You capture the best moments. I love it!
My family sledding pictures and Top Gun? Never would have crossed my mind to put them together but you are ABSOLUTELY RIGHT!!!!
