WC's first pulka ride!

With lots of snow coming down during the past week we finally were able to go and treat WC to his first pulka-sledding experience. As you can see in the photos he absolutely LOVED it! (A pulk (from the Sami language "bulke", or "pulka" in Swedish) is a Scandinavian short, low-slung small toboggan used in sport or for transport, pulled by a dog or a skier.)

Many towns in Sweden do not clean the streets or walkways of snow in the wintertime (nor do they sand, or use salt to clean off the ice and snow). Instead, it is up to the pedestrian or the driver to use good judgment when traveling across snow-clad streets and parks. This of course makes for wonderful winter-settings and perfect sledding environments pretty much everywhere.

Snow sure is fun! WC thinks this is far superior to going in the silly baby pram.
