More Winter Fun

The kids had so much fun sledding the first time that we took them again. Watch Buppa fall — twice. Then watch him try get his big, stiff body onto a little saucer at the end.

 

Below are some stills, the last three were extracted from the videos, just for something to do. They were from a compact, so they're not great, but I've never done it before, so I wanted to try.

As I said in the video, we were the only people there with an old-fashioned wooden toboggan. The toboggan, though old-fashioned in style, isn't that old. it was bought perhaps five years ago for the kids. They use the plastic saucers more than the toboggan, though JJ did take a couple of turns with it, trying unsuccessfully to stand.

  1. Even more jealous than usual. It looks so much fun and even if there were snow and I would be able to go out, I wouldn't be able to go out at all! Enjoy the good fun while it lasts!!
