Free Fun - Sledding

It finally warmed up! Hooray! My husband walks in the front door this morning and say's, "It's 30 degrees outside." (that's Fahrenheit, 2 degrees below freezing) To which I immediately (because I knew what he was getting at) said, "Awesome! We can go sledding now!" Little Abe has not been sledding yet. It was just too cold last winter (much like this winter has been so far) and we didn't get out with him. Today so far has been sunny and relatively warm with no wind... perfect! Someone gave me a sled for him a few weeks ago (I honestly do not advertise that I'm frugal, truly).
It was the most beautiful morning ever; just the three of us out in the sunny snowy winter wonderland. There were birds chirping the entire time. I couldn't help but feel embraced by beauty as we had the time of our lives. Little Abe loved sledding and my husband had an absolute blast with his son. The pure white snow glistened on tree branches everywhere you looked. I promise there were absolutely no trees anywhere near the sledding paths. The sun was bright on the horizon in the distance with it's rays peaking between trees.

So perfect and didn't cost one single penny!





Just perfect!

    Fun!! I can't believe how big he is! We hardly had any snow this winter so far. It was 42 degrees and raining yesterday. No, I don't complain, I love it :) No shoveling for us. But the kids are a bit disappointed :)

      I always think it's sort of funny how much kids hope for snow but the adults are so happy when its super mild :)
      And I can't believe how big he is either. Almost three! Ahhhhh!

      I love the four seasons. I like the transition seasons the best, spring and fall. But I love that we really have all four here. And I do like snow. It's so beautiful. Today was really just perfect, so so great!

    :))) happy about sledding! I built a huge snowman the other night, and it was so much fun. Now too cold for snowmen again, woke up to minus 8 Celsius.

      I LOVE that you built a snowman! We still need to build one and a fort. I'm going to build a snow fort with him this year (at least it's on my mental to-do list) -8C is around where our temps have been too. We spent all last week around -16 to -12 Celsius. It was harsh. The -1 Celsius yesterday was fabulous.
