increasing sledding pleasures

We arrived last Sunday in Wisconsin and I am still fighting with my jetlag and the winter temperatures – felt as unusually mild by the locals. My kids are already enjoying every day: they build snow fortresses and fight snowball wars and slide down the slope on plastic sleds without having problems with sitting the next day.

My kids enjoyed the plastic sleds borrowed from their new friends, too, but I felt every single bump as an unfriendly offense on my sitting capacity. On my suggestion we bought yesterday an “old” sled in an antique shop, made of wood and metal in the US and we will test it today. I hope it will act like an Epicurean device helping increase the pleasure of sledding while decreasing the pain in butt.
