These first two photos are of Sophie on her first little bunny hill on the front lawn of our old house when she was 2 1/2 years old. She loved it. Laughing and cooing and smiling from ear to ear. We went up and down and ran in big circles and had a grand time.
Sophie is an adventurer at heart and loves all the action she can find. The faster and the higher the better for this little girl. Now that Sophie is almost 8 nothing has changed. Lucas is the same and loves all the big roller coasters and so do I!
Sophie's new toboggan is really nice and long and will last her many years. I can sit in it with her easily and the little sides keep us in quite nicely.
Who is that sweet angel?
Head first!!
Lucas was a great big brother that day and helped pull Sophie up and down the street.
Sophie and I made a few runs down our front lawn into the road and she loved it. Of course there are no photos because if it isn't me taking them it generally doesn't happen ;)
Lucas made some pretty good runs right to the other side of the street. There are definitely advantages to living on little side streets!
This photo isn't great but it shows the little polar booties Sophie has on. I got them here on clearance and they are awesome. They are very adjustable with the velcro straps and kept her feet nice and warm. We have been using them all week to go to school (well, the 3 days that we didn't have no school/snow days) and she has kept them on really well. They didn't even come off once while tobogganing and she often had her foot outside the toboggan dragging alongside! Finding boots that stay on her feet is an impossibility most of the time and it has been way too cold for the knit ones that her great-grandma made for her that we love and usually use. There are lots of options at this store as her feet grow as well. Because Sophie has a hard time regulating her body temperature and gets cold very easily and very quickly it is a relief to find great products that will keep her safe in the cold!
That looks like so much fun. I wish that we had snow where I live; however, the sub-tropics are not exactly the right climate....

That's a great looking toboggan! I love that Lucas is able to help bring her joy outside and that all of you enjoy heading out with her. I love the first picture you posted of her! (The others are great too, I just love her expression!) Thanks for the tip on the boots, we'll have to check them out for E. We use knit ones and in this extreme cold they don't keep him warm much...we don't take him out much either though. I enjoy seeing all the great activities you guys do with Sophie!
