Sledding!
OK, this is a little bit dated, but that's what happens when you are behind......
We had snow in December and subsequently went sledding at the park. This year, Scott purchased another long sled, made by H2O. This one is purple to distinguish it from the red one. This was needed because we had two sleds - the long red one and a shorter yellow one. The yellow one wasn't as stable as the red one and always resulted in wipe outs, so there was always bickering about "who got to use the Red Sled". Problem Solved!
And with two stable (and fast) sleds, our adventure to the sledding hill was quite successful. Erica and Brian rode down with either Mommy or Daddy (alternating, of course) and at the end, they went down together. Oh - even though it looks like they are sledding on dirt and grass, there was enough snow towards the bottom part of the hill to go pretty fast.
All was fine until another kid, oblivious to his surroundings, walked right in front of their path and a mighty collision ensued. As MANY times as you remind your children to "watch for others - look where you are going", it doesn't seem to compute upstairs. Well, that was the end of sledding for the day. Now we are seriously entertaining a trip out West for skiing and snowboarding - that will have to be in the plan for 2007!
