Sledding

The boys have been waiting ALL winter for a day when their dad could take them sledding.  They have gone in our yard, as well as a few of the neighbors yards but had not made it to the BIG hill.  There have been snow days but Dad is always at work, or it is Sunday.  Finally Friday we woke up to about 7 or 8 inches of snow... (much to my dismay but the perfect day for them).  Plans were made that as soon as Dad got home from work and dinner was finished they would head to the park for the much anticipated long overdue sledding adventure.  Well, by noon the snow was, well gone.  I do not know how that much snow disappeared but it did... just vanished.  Luckily the hill at the park faces away from the sun and there was still enough to make these three little boys happy.  They walked in, well after dark, and said first thing, "We are SO freezing, where is our hot chocolate Mom?" They flipped on the fireplace and had hot chocolate and a piece of lemon cake and then off to a warm bath!  Happy as could be that they got to go sledding!!
