Pre-sledding

Anyone who has ever been sledding, skiiing, tubing, or ever participated in ANY kind of snow sport knows what a production it is to get ready. Layers, pants that you can't walk in, boots, gloves, etc. all at a break-neck speed, so you don't get so overheated you pass out, and oh, this is supposed to be fun, right?

Well, we decided we'd take Amara out to Grandma and Grandpa Jahn's yesterday after this last big snow--and we KNEW what a production it would be, so we had all our gear ready and were ready to roll the second she woke up from her nap.

We got down there and after pleasantries, got down to the business of getting ready.

Coat off (from ride over) new socks on, snow pants on, (zipped and buckled) coat BACK on, mittens, hat, balloons (she loves them--and I told her she could take them outside) and Grandpa to take her while I got ready.)

WHOOSH out the door...but wait! Glove check by dad. Are you SURE this is going to be fun?
