Sledding was a disaster. The bottom of the sled was trashed from frozen cow patties and rocks… but guess what? They didn’t come running to me for a solution. They figured it out themselves—cardboard. And just like that, back in business. Too often, we step in and solve problems for our kids. But out here? They learn to think, adapt, and problem-solve. Because when you let them struggle a little, they’ll come up with solutions you never even thought of. Let them think. Let them try. Let them fail

Recent death is a sad reminder of the danger of sledding
