…this might sound strange to some of you, but i decided to take my kids up to the snow yesterday because they had never seen it before. they had no idea what snow was. they were surprised at how “hard and crunchy” it is. they thought it would be soft. we spent a good 2 hours driving up to the snow from long beach. after about 15 minutes playing and sledding, there was a major head bonking incident between my daughter and my friends daughter, and the day pretty much ended after that. lesson learned: find a slope where it has a long flat ending spot so you don’t have to intervene and stop the sled. now i know. but, we did manage to stay a little bit longer and build a small snowman, and just kind of hang out. then, they got pretty tired. i have to admit that i was feeling pretty tired too. we ran up and down the slope many times, and the snow was a good 12″ or so deep, so it took a lot of work to walk around.
after a 2 hour drive back home, they said it was the best day of their lives. lol…
…after we got home, the friends came over a played together the rest of the night. so, all ended well…
cheers,
jerry
