So with all the Posts about snow, I thought back to last year. We had the first real snow fall (almost eight inches!) in more than a decade. The kids flocked to every hill, slope, or valley. Nobody had a sled. They don't sell them here.
So it was cardboard, garbage can lids, surfboards...and; because our family couldn't find a toboggan ....they got out the canoe.
And let me tell you, that thing flew down the hill. And the adults all drove back home and got their canoes to race the kids in!
Hot chocolate, and Canoe races on snow...it doesn't get much better than that!
I am hoping for one snow day this coming year...nothing on the Horizon for the end of 2025. But one day to drag the old canoe out would be fun.

SGT Kevin Hughes LMAO! That would be radical to see someone going down a hill in a canoe!

You need to learn how to do a snow dance Brother Kevin. But then be careful how you do it. You don't want to make the Snow Big Kahoona mad and send you too much (HaHaHa).
