  19. A great idea! It reminds me of a hill next to a middle school near me. On snow days, younger kids would sled down the terraced part of the hill. The older kids would sled down the faster part of the hill that wasn’t terraced. :)

  26. funny – we had wooden ‚seatings‘ like that at the shore of the lake we just spent a short holiday. They‘re fantastic, wonderful, imaginative, until you try to eat an ice cream – that is absolutely impossible! and getting up again is a pain in the ‚you know what’s too! I love them and this is a brilliant idea.
