Dirt Sledding...

In desperation:

Partially to get the kids outside in fresh air and doing something active

And partially because the need to sled is a truly desperate matter...

I took my niece and nephew sledding after an ice storm which unfortunately left only a dubious teaspoon of snow/slush on the ground

It quickly devolved into a sort of mud slide

Abject despair

Unlikely though it seems and despite the photo depicted, the adventure was a big hit. 

Proving that MGG and the Killers had the right idea with #dirtsledding

Because really.... no Christmas is complete without sledding
