9 Inches of Snow + 6 Year Old Twins

Published by at 4:46 pm under All General Discussions

It is amazing how some snow and two 6 year old twins can make you feel young and old at the same time. Thankfully Mrs Strata and our 16 year old son were able to do most of the snow removal duties before I headed into the fray this morning. That left this afternoon for the High School Junior ROTC student to go shovel parking lots at the nearby senior citizens home and the wife and I to go sledding.

All you others over 40 remember sledding? It’s just like riding a bike – but bumpier, wetter and colder. The twins are at the wonderful age of exploration and overdosing on fun.

The older kids in the neighborhood had already done their bit of sledding so we had the place basically to ourselves. The 9 inches of snow meant the sledding runs were just fine and the jump run was a blast. The wife was able to get some serious air with the twins in front (she will pay for this tomorrow she assured me). The twins were simply mindless with joy.

Ah…To be young again!

Someone please pass me the Advil.
