Slip and sliding

After all that snow last week, Mike, Mack and I headed to Greeley to meet Brian, Annie and Makenzie for some sledding! Just as we thought, little dare devil Mack took to the hill , sledding fearlessly down both hills ( one Brian called " Wild" and one labeled " mild" ). The bigger hill was fun but it had been so busy that much of the snow was starting to wear away, leaving pockets of muddy grass which are not good for sledding. Greeley also didn't get as much snow as we did being that much closer to Denver.

Mack is the perfect girl to take sledding because she hauls her own sled up the hill:

Mack wasn't the only Long to go sledding. Even when I'm not 7 months pregnant, I refrain from activities that showcase my immense need for major medical health insurance. Of course, it was Mike who took to the slopes several times though he ( thankfully) did not succumb to peer pressure and attempt to " snow surf" like Brian. As the sun set and fingers began to freeze, we decided BBQ was the perfect way to warm up and warm up we did!
