First slush

Ah the first drippings of west coast winter.

We had a wholesome centimeter of snow fall upon this morning and what better thing to do than grab our sleds (dusty and forgotten) and race to the nearest construction site and slide down the iced over roads! Oh the glee! Actually it was a lot of fun and despite the lack of snow, the sleds really got going!

We took my two nephews to try out real sledding (real as in a large fast hill) for the first time. I taught my 4 year old nephew the all important "bail" maneuver, which he used on his next run down. Unfortunately I forgot to mention that it might hurt a bit and snow could get up your jacket, which it did. He rolled off the sled, but quickly jumped up and lifted his shirt in surprise he asked "am I bleeding?!" ..he just had some snow on his stomach.

Yes sir, snow is fun even if it's a small amount. There's nothing like waking up and seeing that the white stuff has finally fallen. Glory be.
