Air!

Anthony at Grandma and Grandpa's, Jan 2013

The pictures of snow
play I posted earlier today of my brother and his family reminded me
that there's much from last year's trip here to
Ohio that I still have not posted. At the time I'd done one Snow Play
post, so I guess today is a followup.

These pictures of Anthony (age 10 at the time) sledding in the back yard are from exactly one year ago today.

All Part of the Fun

He gained confidence as time went... here's a shot from 10 minutes later; he seems much more composed....
