After much cajoling, the girls finally convinced me to take them sledding. They even found a new sledding hill for us to try that is very, very close to our house.
I agreed to go on a day when the temperature was a toasty 33 degrees, which would not leave mom freezing to death at the bottom of the hill.
It really was a perfect day, brilliantly white and sunny. Not to cold. Perfect powdery snow. A hill that wasn't too crowded or icy.

The girls at the top of the hill.
(Yes, there is a guy up there with shorts on...it was sunny but not THAT sunny.) |

The girls had so much fun. They even tried to catch a little air on the bumps on the way down. Good thing we went when we did because the following day we had rain and are expected to have wet weather for the rest of the winter break so basically it was our last day to do it before school starts back up. Of course, now that we have found a hill that is basically one minute from our house, I'll think we'll be able to do some after school sledding in the future.
You guys are lucky. probaly the only place i will go sleding is probally at my school.
ReplyDeleteGuess what all of our snow is gone now! It rained for two days and the snow melted, now you can see the grass. Did you guys have a big snow storm?
ReplyDeleteWhy didn't I see you on the hill?
ReplyDeleteUm, I left the part about me going to the top of the hill out. Paige let go of her sled down the backside of the hill and the stupid thing sailed all the way down and out onto a frozen pond. I had to walk up the hill and then down the other side and onto the pond to get it. Fortunately the shorts guy was there to help me in case I fell through the ice. After that and watching a bunch of other adults wipe out, I decided I had had enough adventure for the day.
