Sledding in a Winter Wonderland

New England has been hit with a couple of snowstorms in the last couple weeks. We have had a couple of feet of snow and the scenery is just breathtakingly beautiful. The kids and I finally got the chance to go sledding yesterday and today. We went to the nearby Tyler Park and sledded to our hearts' content. It's a short slope, but we enjoyed ourselves thoroughly. Supriya mastered her snowboard & the snow-scooter, and the daredevil in the usually-mild-mannered Aseem came out to play! He would set down his round blue sled at the top of the slope, go back about five feet, run and jump into the sled with a cry of "Cannonball!" and down he would go like a rocket.
