Let it snow, let it snow...


And it did. Yesterday we had a couple of inches that actually stayed around. So today Daddy decided it was time to test out the sled. In storage for most of the year, it had been recently moved to the front of the storage cupboard in anticipation of the start of winter. And so it was on a barely-above-zero day, that we three intrepid adventurers made our way to the famous "Hackberry Hill" of Orchard Downs. We managed several slides down before finishing for the day. We even saw some fraternity boys, who had mounted their sofa onto 4 skis, take it for a slide. Apart from a final fall - thanks daddy - Alex really seemed to like trudging in the snow. Here's hoping she likes to ski too! This photo shows just how big the sled is compared to her. And she still insisted on pulling it up the hill herself.

You brave souls! If only I was adventurous and not such a panzy about cold weather
