It's official! I got my first sled ride in of the season this past weekend! Can you say excited?

My husband and I had the opportunity to take our 3-year-old daughter, Jersey on her first official snowmobile ride this weekend. She got a new snowmobiling helmet for Christmas.

We had to do a little bit of coaxing to get her out on the tails with us. We started out small. We hooked up a sled behind the snowmobile and hauled it around the yard at first, and eventually worked our way up to having her actually ride on the snowmobile with us. She was rather timid at first, but got in to it in no time at all.

She totally took it in stride. Once she was comfortable, she just sat there chilling out watching the beautiful northern Maine scenery pass her by.

We only went about 20 miles, but that's pretty good for her first ride. She did it with no complaints either! Bonus!
