strolling down the street in a 1980's sled...



This morning we had a ton of snow so Katharine came over via walking with Amy in her sled. When they were leaving Paige watched Amy happily be dragged away in her sled. Paige was smiling and looking envious so I asked her if she would like to go in her sled. She agreed. After lunch I brought up my old baby sled and pulled her around our crescent twice. "Gen?" she asked, so we went around again. "Gen?" she asked, and around we went a fourth time. "Gen?"--but this time it was getting late, so I let her sit in the sled while I shovelled for the second time.

This is a big improvement on last year's unenthusiastic sledding attempt:


If I can figure it out, I might try to recover the pink cushion, it looks really worn.
