Sledding at James Day Park

While heading out to the grocery store yesterday, I detoured over to James Day Park in Sheffield to see if anybody was sledding. Sure enough, some kids were there having a good time (see photos above). It reminded me of the sledding sequence from It's a Wonderful Life (although the movie urchins had to use shovels as sleds).

It's kind of reassuring to know that kids still enjoy sledding in this day and age of sophisticated entertainment.

As you can see from the above photo, the forest looks denser than ever. Back here, I mentioned that my memories of sledding there included slamming into trees once in a while. That's probably why I can't remember exactly with whom I used to go sledding, or how I even got over there!
