On the Slope

The Shepards jumped into Goldie and headed up to Westchester on Saturday for some sledding with the Imhoff/Stefanoff gang.

Other than a few runs down Nana and Papa Shepard's driveway, I've never sledded with the girls (although they did some sledding in Albany without me). And I'm not sure that I've gone downhill on a sled since childhood.

We headed over to Croton Point Park and quickly got into the swing of things. I did a run with Stella. Lots if fun. And then the 6 girls were off on their own, sledding down the hill in every possible configuration of partners and sledding devices.

And so on, and so on, and so on... Stella and Marni were living large. Covered in snow. Laughing. Running. Playing. Throwing snowballs (Marni: "Don't you dare throw that Daddy!").

After a couple hours, toes began to get cold and the sun began to dim.

Hot chocolate and warm cookies at the Stefanoff compound. Then, after a stop for dinner at the girls' favorite restaurant (Applebee's), we headed for home.

As you can see from the photo below, the girls were a little tired after their winter adventure.
