When we were on the beach I saw the local home forecast, and it called for a bit of snow, but when we returned home, it was clear that there was probably about 5-6 inches of the white stuff. Enough to cover the ground and do some sledding, or better yet, snowboarding. N was ready, and he grabbed his “new” snowboard, which is now complete, and rode it most of the afternoon down the small hill. The beauty of it is that he has to work hard to have fun. Carrying that board back to the top after every run is a workout. It’s like sledding, there are no chairlifts to do the wrok for you, but the reward for your efforts is the cool ride down. This also affords kids a chance to get some badly needed exercise, not that our kids are badly in need.
It was fun, and I get a huge kick out of seeing A&R get a grasp of a new activity, especially when it’s fun, and more importantly, cool. For the record, the snow has all melted, which is a bummer, but I’m hoping that we’ll get more. It’s been known to happen.
Until then, thanks for reading.
