Today we went sledding on Rice Hill in Taughannock Park. We used Graem’s kiddie boggan that Jen and Jen got Graem for Christmas. The hill was very steep and we weren’t quite sure that it would be alright for Grammy. So I had to try it out first! I used our snow saucer and it was a blast!! I’ve got to work on my steering because I almost ran over a couple of kids.

During one of my runs Graem went with me. She really didn’t know what to think and she looked somewhat scared towards the end. We video taped it and you could see the complete horror on her face! Then Margot went down the hill with her. Graem started liking it more and actually laughed and giggled! Of course what goes down — must come up! So the hike up was quite the pain. Here are some pictures of Graem’s first sled trip:

We think Graem’s best part of the day was when we left the hill to go back to the car. Margot ran with Graem’s sled and Graem laughed the whole way!

Our sledding experience today really made us appreciate the warmth that we have in our 60 degree house!

After sledding we went to the mall and watched “Rent” the movie. It was a pretty good movie, but we think that the play is much better. We were glad that was Grammy’s first movie because we love the music and always listened to the CD in the car when she was hanging out in Margot’s belly. Graem didn’t make it through the movie and ended up taking a nice 1 1/2 hour nap!

Today was a great day and Grammy enjoyed her two “firsts” - sledding and movies!

BTW, the tile guy came in today and he’s almost finished tiling the bathroom. All he has to do is come back tomorrow and put some goo on the tiles. Which means by Monday — we get to shower in our own bathroom!
