This is our house in WI on the Wood River. My son and family went up yesterday (we had 16 inches of NEW snow this week) and they all went sledding. How about that? It looks like Christmas instead of Spring break.

My grandson (17) tries to see how far he can go into the trees on the right. Normally, we would have a bail of hay in front of the tree in the foreground when we have the younger kids sledding.

Maria sledding. Dad waiting at the bottom of the hill.

They do try to see how close they can come to the river before they have to bail. My DIL got the closest. You should see the photo of the look on her face. This was in 2004 and it was very, very cold. Thanks for the reply.
