Snow Day

Alton was very excited about the falling snow this season. I went to 4 local stores looking to buy him a sled, to no avail, but stopped at the ski shop, near home, as a last ditch effort. They also had no sleds for sale but bought into my terrible plight and offered an old snow board to try in a pinch. I drilled holes in the nose and strung a rope, as they suggested, and he was off! "My snowboard, my snowboard, let's go, come-on, hurry up!" was the cry for days as he awoke in the morning and rose from naps. We even rode the board down the road and across the parking lot to deliver 'thank-you cookies' to the ski shop owner with Christmas Spirit.
