Snow in March ....

Sledding adventures

A few videos of a fun sledding day we had in February. Hopefully you won't think it's too cruel that we forced Norah into the sled. Mike and I had a great time and I think the kids did too, though these videos don't really convince you of that. We walked down the road to the Cornell Orchards. We met a family with a fancy toboggan type sled who convinced Kenney to go on a run with them. We couldn't force him like we did Norah, but he had a fun time the few times he went down in the toboggan.

Winter here in Ithaca

was hard this year. I tried to stay positive and get out and enjoy the snow when we could. It helped that we had a sled so we could use that for some fun. It also helped to have friends that enjoy playing in the snow. We visited Margaret, Jenny and Daniel a couple of times a week during snowy weeks for outside play. Here are some pictures of the field behind our house during a particular snowy but SUNNY week. The fresh snow looked so desolate and alien planet like. While Norah slept one afternoon Kenney and I invented a few new games out in the snow. We did snow angels in the crunchy snow, stepped out a message for dad to see when he came home later that day and scooted chunks of snow across the icy covered snow until they broke. We had a good time and it was so nice to see the sun.
