It took longer to inflate the snow tubes today than it took to discover that the snow was decidedly not sledding compatible. The warm weather made the snow wet and sticky and it was impossible to glide more than a couple feet, even with a running start.

An outing that could have ended in tears of disappointment turned out to be a great time! We explored the melting, and puddling, snow first. Then we trudged on to the Children’s Barn and visited the animals. Snowballs were thrown, guinea fowl were observed from a camouflaged hide, pinecones were collected, drawings and cryptic marks were made in the mud and soaking wet feet weren’t noticed for well over an hour.

I love when failures turn out to be wins!
