Children and Snow


Yesterday my two youngest grandchildren were here to visit with their mother. The boys are 6 and 3 years old. They brought their saucer sleds to try out the hills their mother and her siblings had used when they were children. To our dismay they went sledding in places my children had never sled, like down the front slope. They had the time of their lives. Then they followed that up by climbing up the back hill and onto some of the large rocks. From that vantage point the youngest one felt he was king of the world. It was so much fun and refreshing to see how much fun with abandonment children can have.

I saw in the Facebook photos that they were going down the front hill. There used to be bigA trees there when I was a kid.

They look like they were having a blast, kids are so fearless.

There's always something to learn from children......being, simply themselves, and in the moment ; )
