Walking in a winter wonderland

Posted on June 30, 2013 by beth

while walking barefoot along the back beach this morning, I was amused to discover that Australian kids are also willing to brave the winter elements to experience the joys of sledding.

Luckily there was a roaring fire and hot cocoa waiting.

some things are universal.

This is a fine offering my friend. Now I know that I am
new to your blog but can I have marshmallows with my
cocoa? 🙂 Well I always like a dip or three 🙂

What a great way to sled, without all the cold and snow. It makes me laugh that people in different climates get cold so easily. I am from Chicago and it takes a lot to make me cold. I am glad you are enjoying your vacation you deserve it. Keep the posts coming. 🙂

  I know, kind of ideal isn’t it, coming from a snowy climate I can really identify with what you said)
