For Christmas Henry got a sled. Unfortunately, we didn't have very much snow so he didn't get a chance to try it out until the end of January. We finally had enough snow to take it to a nearby park.
There was a small hill that was perfect for beginning sledders. All three of them took turns on it and had a blast doing so.
There was playground equipment and a slide to play on as well. We discovered that there is also a very small ice skating rink set up at this park. The kids don't have ice skates, but if winter has finally hit us we may get some.
We got a lot of snow here Thursday and Friday. I think it was 10 inches. While I hate it the kids were out playing in it yesterday and it does make for good sledding. I think the nearby Meijer may have some sleds on sale. I think Irene would like her own.
The children had no school on Friday. They went out and jumped around in the snow and tried to shovel. The snow is so wet and heavy that it was hard for them to pick up the shovel. When they came in they were drenched. Hot chocolate was given out to warm them up.
At least the kids can enjoy the snow!
