Bee and Shawn decided to add a fifth ses­sion to their Year in the Life pro­gram, so we headed out­side to enjoy a sunny win­ter day. He seemed to enjoy it despite the fact that the lit­tle bean was wrapped up almost as tight as the lit­tle brother in A Christmas Story.

For Monica and Dave’s fourth Year in the Life ses­sion, they and the rest of their extended fam­ily went to Stanley’s Maple Lane Farm for an old fash­ioned horse-drawn sleigh ride. The weather was per­fect: sunny, and right after the freez­ing rain, so all the bare trees were lit up with a coat of ice.

We hung around in the barn for a bit, and then we were off on the sleigh ride!

About halfway through the ride, all the kids were let off to romp around in the snow:

The freez­ing rain had cre­ated a layer of ice over the snow, and the big thing was to smash it over your head.

A great time was had by all.

Highly rec­om­mended if you have kids of that age.
