First Sled of the Season

Poor little Kelsey has croup. It is no fun. The days are hard and the nights are awful. But I've had some nurses recommend bundling her up and taking her outside, because the cold, dry air is good for it. So I took the kids sledding this morning. The small hill we sled on is conveniently located just outside of our neighborhood at OSP (our special place). It sure would have been handy to have another adult there. Tyler and Brynlee just have so much fun and can run up and slide down as much as they want without any assistance.

Madison, however, cannot sled down the hill without help. She can't do it without help, because she can't hold on to her sled. She can't hold on to her sled, because she doesn't put her thumbs in the correct hole in her mittens. SO. You see the predicament we are in. I have to take her and her sled up the hill, then pull her back down again. ButKelsey doesn't like to be left alone at the bottom. Nevertheless, we managed and everyone had a good time. Tyler commented: "I could do this all day long!"

I believe him.

 

 

See the tear-stained cheeks? Like I said, she doesn't like to be left alone at the bottom :).
