I’m not sure about your kids, but we have been waiting for the snow! It’s time to pull out your snow pants and gloves and have a blast on the sledding hills around the city! Go prepared with the proper gear and clothing. Stay safe!
Whether young or old, this is a wonderful way to connect as a family. Grab your tube or flexible flyer and bring on the hot chocolate…mmm!
Be sure to check Facebook pages or websites for the status of each hill based upon snowfall before you go!
