Sledding

Shane woke up from his nap "full of Mike" (as Carrie calls it). Carrie told me to take him somewhere to get it out of his system!

Luckily, it was in the 40s. That felt balmy after becoming adjusted to single digits. Shane and I went to explore the school behind our townhouse.

There were multiple playgrounds. Everything a little boy needed to burn some Mike out.

Shane said the snow tasted great, too.

The elementary school looked really nice. I contemplated Shane going there while we practiced our swinging.

Another group of neighborhood kids showed up after a while. The hills were perfect for sledding. There were already a ton of wakes from the previous day's runs.

We don't have a sled down south, but we found something serviceable.

Someone else left it behind. You can see why.

It served our purpose well!

The sled didn't hold up to all the fun Shane had with it!

It shrank after successive runs!

I brought Shane home soaked, but much calmer. He took a shower to heat back up. Mission accomplished!
