It was too cold (BRRR!!!) to go sled riding for a couple days after the snow, but yesterday the sun came out, the winds died down, and we hit the hill!
The hill is in the hayfield on our son's farm.
Note for the future...mow the hillside again in late fall, so we don't have to sled ride over tall weeds full of seeds!
But we won't let the weeds stop us!
Watch out Pappy! They are gaining on you!
After countless trips sliding down, and climbing back up, we were coated in snow.
And we didn't care at all!
It was such a fun afternoon.
Last winter, we only had 2 of the long sleds. We also had some of the round ones, but we all prefer the long ones. We went shopping for more of the long ones, but everyone was sold out. We did have one hardware store tell us they had more ordered, so we told them to call us when they came in. Days went by with no call, so George called them. The order was delayed. He called every few days to see if they had received them yet - he really wanted those sleds!
Finally, they came, and wouldn't you know it, we didn't get any more snow. So, we put them in a corner and patiently waited. And while we aren't always excited to see snow come because of the problems it causes on the roads, and the limitations it puts on outside projects, we are always happy to get the sleds out.
Here's to a fun winter sliding down the hayfield!
