I’m joining in again with Mary-Lou’s Take Three Thursday meme:
In an effort to notice more of the ordinary in my life, I have decided to share what I have noticed this week in Take Three Thursday. The idea is to take photos that are linked some how; by theme, by colour, by date, by moment, by points of view.
We had a couple beautiful sunny days over the weekend. It wasn’t warm enough for serious snow melt, but definitely warm enough for sledding. Colgate Divinity School sits atop a hill at the end of our street. It has the perfect hill for sledding, steep enough to get good speed, but a long flat yard at the bottom to avoid any disasters. Matt brought Skyar (6) and Ella (3) up for an hour or two of sledding, and I walked down to join them. I didn’t have any intention of sledding myself, but they were having so much fun, I ended up going down with Skylar before I walked home. Sadly (or luckily), Matt didn’t manage to get a photo of the two of us going down the hill.
They brought three sleds–two plastic ones, and one large inflatable one. Here’s Skylar ready to take off down the hill.
And much to our surprise, Ella wanted to go down on her own. She loved it!
Somehow I never ended up with a photo of the two of them going down the hill on the big inflatable sled. Coming up the hill is the hardest part. Ella managed a couple of times with Skylar’s help, but finally needed Dad to help her out.
Matt and Sarah spent time sliding down this hill when they were kids. It’s fun to watch the next generation enjoying it as well!
Oh what fun – I haven’t been sledding or tobogganing in years. Well done& brave of you going down for a run. Do you have similar photos of Matt & Sarah on the hill? Would make a great page. Our church is built on a hill & purposely did not plant gardens in one area to allow the village children to use the hill in winter for sledding or tobogganing.
Thanks for joining in Karen.
From the looks of it, those little girls ended up exhausted and Matt had no need to go to the gym that day – probably not the next day either! Our girls mostly contented themselves with sledding in our own backyard. But we do have a similar spot at the high school…
Oh, that looks like such a FUN day! I’m so glad you joined in with those lovely girls!
We haven’t had enough snow – so far – for sledding. The girls look like they indeed had fun. Must have been a nice trip for you down memory lane as you watched them and Matt…
Cheers~
Looks like great fun. We haven’t had any weather for that here!
