New Sleds,New Hats

I love this week between Christmas and New Years. Even though the days are not technically holidays, everyone is still moving at a slower pace. Christmas cooking and crafting are all done, leaving lots of time to relax and play. William and Charlie both got new sleds and new hats for Christmas and decided to take them for a test run today while I struggled with making an ice rink for them to skate on (Pictures to follow, if it actually works!!)

and heading for spaces below,

Gliding

and sliding across the new snow,

Slicing,

an icing of white on the hill,

Leaning,

careening, avoiding a spill.

Racing

to where the icy hill ends

A boy and his sled

become wintery friends.
