sister_luckWe've had quite a bit of snow since Tuesday morning and I was itching to get out the sled, but as I had lots of afternoon school and meetings, we didn't make it until Thursday afternoon.
This is just in the park around the corner - not the steepest of slopes and you can see that 5cm more would have made for much better conditions. People who live in areas where they actually regularly get snow will point and laugh at our pathetic sledding hill and rightly so. (The real action in town is actually in the bigger park with the 'rubbish mountain', i.e. a small hill, that was built from the rubble left after the bombing raids of WWII, but we didn't have the time to drive over there. You can see that the light was already fading.)
Up on the hill, looking down at the pond with huge weeping willow with father and son sharing a sled. You can also see the boy and girl who shared the hill with us. They were very cute, about 10 years old.
The kid quickly realized that sledding works uphill, too, if you find someone to pull you.
The kid enjoyed himself, even though we had managed to forget the gloves.. We are very bad parents.
