Boxing Day=Snow Day!

So typically when one hears tobogganing they think kids, and that’s partly true but with my family the adults go wild with it. The brother slide, the sister slide, how many can squash on the sled, how many people high can we go, oh ya, it gets crazy! Once we get our competitive juices going we take it up a notch from sledding to mostly.. touch snow football! All in all the day is about all of us being together! Running around and being active just enhances the fun we have together.
