Sledding Sasha

Silly you! No, that's not Sasha but watching this young boy reminded me of the adventures that are sure to find Sasha in the not too distant future!

On Sunday, after the arrival of some fresh powder and before the arrival of below zero temps, we decided that it was time that Sasha take to the hills.

Anyone that knows Sasha might think that sledding really fast, super fast as it might be, down a hill would be great fun. And, if you add, going backyards, you have a clear picture of Sasha's sledding adventure.

Nathan and Sasha climbed the hill multiple times (until Sasha couldn't climb again .. yes, Sasha got worn out before Nathan .. now that doesn't happen very often) to sled down. No matter how many times they tried, Sasha couldn't get the hang of steering and always ended up going down the hill in reverse.

Many people complimented us on our beautiful wooden sled which was a 'hand me down' from Uncle Peter (we've totally benefitted from Peter's generosity and thriftiness as he has kept several really nice items hoping that he'd find a good home for them).

After such a great adventure, Nathan now wants to find a larger sled (it's all about the acquisition of 'gadgets' I think) that two people can use at once. I'm not exactly sure where to find such a treasure but we'll keep our eyes open. In Illinois in winter, we could certainly use one!
