Sledding adventure

We had another sledding adventure today. The night before, the snow had come down for a long but so gently that while there was a couple of inches everywhere else, the ground was bare under the pine trees. It was barely enough snow for good sledding but we’ll take what we can get.

This time, I took along two extra pairs of gloves for Corwin and so we managed to stay out for about 90 minutes instead of the 20 minutes last time. Corwin had a good time, going down the main slope and the secondary run (where he tended to go over a small ramp in the saucer sled backwards).

Charles had a good time as well. He has taken to yelling all the way down, “wooooooo!”. He didn’t used to do that. His tolerance was a bit less than Corwin’s and he left early.

Even Mom was there and she took Alice on her first sled ride down the backslope. Alice seemed to enjoy it, although they did just the one run before Charles, Alice and Mom headed back home while the hardy menfolk remained for a bit more sledding.
