Today we went to First Hill. April, one of my aides, is in Nome where she is awaiting the arrival of her baby. Our neighbor, Jamie, is watching April's girls until she comes home. The three youngest stayed with Mark and me last night. Soooo, today we took them sledding. I think it was about 8˚ when headed out. The wind started blowing but everyone was dressed warm.

This pic is taken from the middle of First Hill. Mark is heading to the bottom to pick up the sledders.

Here he is with a load of kids.

This is Hayden, all bundled up and wearing his seal skin hat.

We met Ben and Hannah and their two boys, Ben and Hayden at the hill. Hayden didn't want to go down the hill until he saw the inner tube. Then he never missed a trip down the hill.
