Icicle Eyes!

 This little 'Artic Explorer' is James. He was here today to help celebrate his big brother's birthday.   Under that furry hat, are lovely rosey cheeks -- and icicles on his eyelashes!


Undaunted by the big hill, he was keen to come down from the very top!  


There was a wide variety of sliding devices on hand to try out, from magic carpets, on up.


The hill was fast. And it is a long one!

James got a little coaching advice from Dad, as he experimented with some different sleds, and with lying down or sitting up. The falling off to the side he had pretty much mastered.

 













Of course, what goes Down the hill must come back up in order to repeat the process.









And Dad came in pretty handy there as well.

 This is a great hill for kids of all ages, because it is so sheltered. The wind simply cannot reach its icy fingers around the hill and through the trees that frame the site.


 Although cold weather had a job to do if it was to reach in past James really wise choice of winter wear!
