Sled Riding

I guess you could say that after all these years living in the same climate conditions I should just learn to embrace what winter has to offer, not like it, embrace it! I got myself a pair of snow pants, snow boots and a hat this year. No I have never worn any of the above in the winter time, but old(er) age changes the way you think.

I am with my cousin on this one, I have different takes on small kids going outside playing in the snow. I guess b/c they just can't tell you that their too cold on their own. I don't think I ever bundled Olivia up at 2yo. to go and play in the snow. But with the second child and needing time to myself and just to wear kids out for bed, it was time to break that rule. Logan is a child that when not being entertain doesn't know what to do with himself. Enter me, when he thinks he's a koala bear and I'm a tree. He likes to hang on my hip for no reason when he's bored. So it was like, yeah rich I think YOU should take him outside. LOL

**This pic is not up to standards and came out very dark and I need to learn how to fix it with not having my same computer programs as Vista, but it's really cute**

I did make it outside to play and sled ride. Rich said my snow pants would never get used! I have to say, after jumping on the tube and all that, I could not lift my arms above my head for two days! So if your thinking on doing this after not doing it for quit some time, re-think what you are getting yourself into. It was awfully fun though. When I was a kid, our neighborhood kids where die hards. We stayed out long after our gloves, boots, snowsuits, and hats were soaking wet. My daughter went through 3 pairs of gloves in 15 minutes and I was still sitting out in the yard when she had come into the house!! I prefer to call her a "city girl".........................
