sledding

I guess that the fact that we have enough snow to create snow hills is a good thing. Of course I am finding it difficult to generate the enthusiasm my little people have. Yesterday they headed over to Jay's, he has a perfect hill to go sledding on...and sled they did! I'm not sure what was more fun, watching them try to figure out how to get up the hill, seriously they haven't had the opportunity to play on snow hills, just in the yard, where the slide had to be their "hill" so not the same. Or hearing them giggle as they slid or rolled down the hill...it didn't take them long to figure out the thrill of sailing down the side of a huge mountain of snow, to bump along the ground and then quickly scramble thru the snow and back up to the top just to do it again... So fun to watch Yahaira move thru the snow with amazing speed, the stuff on the ground came up to her waist and yet she kept up with the boys. Ok so perhaps this part of winter is fun, as long as I don't have to be out in it for too long, I know I am such a winter wimp.
