A blanket of snow, sunshine and mild temps make for some winter fun at last

Opportunities to go sledding have been few and far between this winter, but after a storm dropped a blanket of snow on the area last week and temperatures warmed into 40s Saturday, the Nielsen family jumped at the chance it enjoy some outdoor fun at Lime Kiln Park in Grafton. It was difficult to tell, however, who was having more fun — Ryan, Lindsay and their 2-year-old daughter Dottie or their dogs Summer and Citra, who got their exercise chasing the sled down the hill.         Photos by Sam Arendt
