My kids are certainly my kids…they LOVE snow days!!!! So, we were all quite happy to hear we were expecting one to three inches of snow. It was even better when it turned into more like six inches of snow! The kids wanted to go out as soon as they woke up to falling snow, but since Ed had a couple of errands to run we played, and did some chores, and had lunch, and then pulled out the big box of winter outerwear. Bundled from head to toe, we loaded up in the car and went to probably the only hill in all of Indiana you can sled on. (Well, at least in Lafayette.)
Admittedly, it is the first time we have taken either kid sledding. Strange when you consider we lived in Pittsburgh. Emry would have been old enough the winter Ethan was born, but by the time we had any good snow we had Ethan. Last winter would have been a brilliant one to take the kids sledding, but we just never got around to it. We weren’t going to miss it this time.
I figured Emry would love it. She simply loves being outside in snow. Actually, she didn’t seem impressed with sledding. Snow angels, snow balls and simply rolling down the snowy hill was more her style. Ethan, though…well, he screamed when we told him it was time to go home and cried all the way home. He loved it that much!
