It snowed earlier this week, but with school back in there was no time to play. So we went out Friday after school to the local home store and bought two sleds, or shovels as Thomas likes to call them. Thomas has the same ones at his school, so he showed us all how to use them. We asked some friends to come over Saturday afternoon and go sledding with us. Luckily it had been cold all week, so the snow didn't melt. We had lots of fun, although there were a few runs that we went a bit fast. I think all of us ran into the bushes more than once. We would try to bail off the sled before we got there, but it didn't always work.
