Winter in Kentucky (part 2)

On that Saturday, we started off by doing absolutely nothing.  We stayed with our friend Jonesy and his parents (he is in the process of building a house and living at home in the meantime).  His parents live in a very old plantation home surrounded by LOTS of farmland.  Living on a farm requires a tractor or two and Edward LOVES tractors.  Saturday morning after breakfast, Jonesy went and got a tractor out and took Edward for a nice drive.  Edward was so excited.  He talked for hours about the tractor ride and seeing the cows.  After lunch, Jonesy decided he would take us to find a nice hill to sled on.  They still had some snow on the ground from several days earlier.  None of us had ever gone sledding so we were really looking forward to it.  We found a nice little hill with a creek running below it.  We had a blast and even this pregnant mama gave it a try.  I was terrified of sliding into the creek as you will see from the pictures below!

Yes, that’s me!  24 1/2 weeks pregnant and sledding!  I was terrified that I was going to slide into the creek and that’s why my legs are spread eagle.  I was trying to prepare to stop!!
