I have a confession...I have never taken my kids sledding. Sure, we go outside. But sledding? First off, I'm not fond of it. I broke my leg sledding and while I'm not scared, it lost it's fun. Second, there was no way I could picture myself keeping up with the two of them, especially with Abbey's love of taking off. But on Valentine's Day (actually February 15), Adam's school combined his class party with a sledding party. I left Abbey home and went for it. Wasn't sure what Adam would think. Guess what? HE LOVED IT!
I was fortunate that the TA, Mrs. Pelow helped me out because I had gotten round enough where going up and down probably would have resulted in a Humpty Dumpty type spill. Adam even loved it when he fell off. He couldn't get enough! He was GRINNING from ear to ear.
And here's a class photo...see Adam on the end in the front with his monkey hat? :)
Afterwards, they had a Valentine's ice cream sundae party. It's funny because Adam is actually a fairly neat eater with most things but boy, does he dig into ice cream or cake.
I can see how breaking your leg turned you off. I hate walking on ice and stuff now. But, little kids need to go sledding in the winter man. You live in OSWEGO COUNTY!!!!
