Thanks for putting this together! How cool! You guys all get a long lunch break!

I love the youthful passion you've captured. Great soundtrack from David Byrne. Really great job and thank you!

I can't find the story online, but this trip to Fairchild Park (and NELSAP in general) was covered in the Courant this morning.

I would be down with that except that I have the little guy. Mags will be at preschool for noon, but then I still have the 1.5 year old. Not exactly old enough to let him run crazy on his own, and I don't trust myself skiing with him on my back. The downside to being home during the day is that I still have 2 little ones to watch. The hill is lit at night for sledding, though... I've been dying to go over there one night. Possibly tonight... I could always come and watch tomorrow, though. Let me know. I probably wouldn't be able to get there til around 12:40PM with the preschool thing going on.

BTW, they say they have supervised sledding til 8PM every night.. .not sure if that means you'd be harassed for skiing it. Supervision doesn't start until 5PM on weekdays, though:

Not going to make it tonight. I'll check on here tomorrow before I head out for preschool to see what's up. It's not going anywhere so if you don't get up here tomorrow, no biggie. It is on my list, though.

Where's the vid from Canton? ;)
