They say that feeding time is the best time to see the animals at the zoo. It seems to be a good time to capture the elusive creature I spoke about in my last post. As you can see, he was so busy eating he never even tried to dodge my camera!
The best place to sled on our property is behind the house. It's a short but steep enough hill that starts by our oak tree and ends on our driveway. So unless Dad plows, it's a great ride. The only problem is, sometimes they go so fast I'm afraid they are going to go over the edge and into the woods on the other side of the driveway. I had to show them how to aim their sleds and to bail out if they are getting too close.

Danny really wanted to learn how to ice skate. When everything iced over he knew he would finally have a chance. Undaunted by my skepticism, he grabbed the 1 pair of skates that we have, (I'm not even sure where they came from) went out on the driveway and within minutes he was up and skating. He used the trash can for stability at first, but set that asside fairly quickly.
The best (and worst) part is that this part of the driveway is on the North side of the house and is always in the shade so it takes a lot longer to melt. Danny was excited to have his own private skating rink for 3 or more days. I am thankful for traction control on my van!
