Cold? It's Not That Cold. Let's Go Sledding!

The original plan was to see the Holidazzle parade finale tonight, but was it was canceled due to the cold, we did the quintessential winter activity today: took the kids and went sledding. Never mind the cold and the windchill, dragging a two and a five year old up a hill on a sled keeps you plenty warm.

The hill? Battle Creek Regional Park on the St. Paul/Maplewood border.
The sleds? a couple of saucers and a mean, purple, streamlined speed machine.
The wipeouts? many, many, many. And that's why we love it.
The afterparty? hot cocoa with marshmallows for the kids and real hot chocolate for the adults.

Where is your favorite sledding hill in the Twin Cities? One of these, or somewhere else?

The weather is forecast to get a little warmer this week and I think we'll be hitting the hills again soon, if we can manage it this hectic holiday season.
