Spavis

We went to Spavis today with our branch and some friends and TONS of Koreans.  We went to go sledding.  Even though our snow had melted, the Spavis blows their own snow and has a decent sledding hill.

Clark had fallen asleep on the way, even though it is only about a 25 minute drive from our house.  So when we got there, he was grumpy.  Mimi and Papi had given him a new snow suite for Christmas which he got to open the packages today.

Even though he got a cool snow suite he was in such a horrible mood he didn't want to put it on and cried and said he didn't want to go sledding but that he wanted to go home.
He finally said he was hungry, so we went inside, grabbed some snacks and he turned back into himself more or less.

I still had a little bit of a struggle getting the snow pants on him but once we got dressed (which takes freaken FOREVER when dressing a toddler in a BAZILLION layers and trying to get "globs" [gloves] on their little hands) we headed outside to get tubes and head up the hill.

Koreans are a curious people in that they are extremely messy, but can be so organized in things like their sledding activities.  There were sections to get tubs, then carpets going up the hill so it was easy to climb and then every one got in line and when the worker from Spavis blew his whistle the people in front would get to sled/tube down the hill.  It was nice because you didn't have to worry about getting taken out by some wild sledder screaming down the hill.  Why can't more of Korea be as organized?

When we finally did get him out and and at the top of the hill, he freaked out and didn't want to go down the hill. Clint and I had that silent parent conversation that pretty much said, "Like heck child, you are going no matter what, even if we have to hold you down and force you!" In the end, Clark loved it!

At least Clint looks good in this picture!
