Illinois finally has some snow! We took Audrey and Colin sledding for the first time last weekend. I briefed them in the car on the only important rule of sledding - "If you sled down the hill you must walk back up the hill." They seemed to understand that. I imagined that Greg and I would take turns going with them but once we arrived on top of the hill Greg put the two of them in the sled and gave it a push. Their fearful screams immediately turned to joyful hollers and they stood at the bottom of the hill with big smiles on their faces.
I had to issue a couple more rules before the trip was over. "Bring the sled back with you!" and "Keep your hands and feet inside the sled until the sled stops!" Once our noses and cheeks were sufficiently numbed we headed home for Mexican hot chocolate. It was a fun day.
Sounds like so much fun! But only a little bit jealous of your snow :)
ReplyDeleteI am VERY jealous of the snow. We are supposed to get a pretty good storm this week, which should give us a few feet. But we will see. I loved the video cause you can see how long that hill was. -for a little kid at least. that was so funny.
