I felt so bad today

[truckinbutch]

Had my 6yr granddaughter and 9yr grandson for the entire day on account of school holiday . They came complete with full outdoor clothing and their little Styrofoam sleds .
Perfect day for sledding . Sunny , the temp went to mid 30's , and snow softened enough to make perfect sled tracks .
Took them to the pasture field and used the pickup to start them a 200yd track . They rode it the entire afternoon and had a ball !
Problem was that they couldn't control those flimsy plastic sleds well enough for me to give them a
3/4 mile downhill track through the fields .
Told them that if we had some steel runner sleds like I had that they could ride the whole farm .
Grandson asked me for both of them ,"Pappy , what's a steel runner sled ?"
I'm gonna correct that . I will find some 'Yankee Clipper' sleds to fix up for them to ride(fly)the fields
with .
They got a lot of sledding years ahead of them and deserve to know the best .

You want a real sled, I suggest going with the good old "Flexible Flyer" that is 48" of wood, with steel runners that will last until you hit your first big tree The bonus is you can load it up with all your friends, just like stuffing the old phone booths

All kids should have a papa to take them sleding ! They will have so much fun !

We would load 4 and 5 high on our sleds.... I'll never forget those days, so much fun
