It was a little colder than my normal 58-degree Roaring River water last week and we got about 4 inches of snow, so I popped over to the football field to do some sledding. Had the time of my life slipping around with these kiddos. We had fun, but after last week and this week, I think I speak for all parents when I say send these kiddos need to go back to school! Superintendent Johnson, can you turn off the winter weather for a while, or invest in some snowbusmobiles? We are out of Bluey episodes — send help!
