The ice was not fun, and not really the 3" of sandy sleet on top of that and then a little more ice and then some snow, but the snow that came after that snow was pretty fun. I love winter and I'm glad 20 wanted to go out and play yesterday afternoon.
"Let's see if the pond is frozen!"
I knew it wouldn't be, but I humored him and Pip. We brought the sled as a fallback plan.
Frankie and Lancelot were very interested in the sled and Frankie pushed 20 for a little while, but Lancelot thinks he has a better idea for sledding. More to come on that!
As I suspected, the pond was not only not frozen enough to skate, but with all the recent rain, definitely not something you'd want to fall into right now.
Good thing we brought the sled!
"20! You steered right into the thistle patch! Here, let me show you."
"Yeah, how'd that work out for you?"
Sheep down!
One last run.
Sledding was as much fun as I remembered. I'm glad we went out to play :-).
We sure startled some sheep as we headed back in for some dry clothes and hot cocoa. Liddy was the only one even remotely interested in what we were up to. I love the look on Petunia's face ;-D.
