rainy-day sledding

While Steve and I cleaned out the garage on Sunday, the children found joy in creating a grassy slide on the steep hill behind our property. They got the snow sleds, tramped down the grasses, and took advantage of the drizzle to slide down the hill. The only catch is that there is a dropoff into thorny blackberry bushes at the bottom, so they had to bail out in time to avoid that fate. Good times. I was impressed by their creativity and gusto - none of their assorted neighborhood friends (Nadine, Anna, Stella) was willing to give it a go.
