Henry's Sledding Hill

Every young boy needs a sledding hill, Where he can play nearby and slide at will. Doesn’t notice it’s cold while perfecting his skill. When he comes inside, he can almost sit still.
We visited this little family for the weekend. It snowed all day Saturday, but this little guy didn't notice. He loves being outside. In front of their house is a big hill from the snow plow. The neighbor kids all play there. I went out with him and his cousin in the six inch snow. After thirty minutes, Max was cold and went indoors. Undeterred, and calling for his best friend, Henry sits on top of the hill shouting, "Max, Max!' over and over. The hill was icy and hard, but someone didn't notice as he continued to climb and slide and call for his pal. Mom was tired of spending everyday outside with him. I had a blast, but was exhausted when we finally agreed it was time to call it a day.
