Boring Snow Days

Bobby thought snow days were boring. There was never anything fun to do.
“Come outside with me,” Grandpa called. “On snow days when I was a boy, I played with this toboggan.”

Bobby followed Grandpa up a hill. “One, two, three!” they counted together. Then they jumped onto the toboggan. Whoosh! They sailed down the hill again and again.

“Brrr,” Bobby shivered. “It’s getting cold out here.”

“Let’s go in and warm up,” Grandpa said.

Inside the cozy house, Grandma was waiting with hot chocolate and cookies.

“Grandpa,” Bobby said, “tell me more about when you were a boy.”

Grandpa smiled. “My favorite days were snow days, because my grandpa — your great-great grandpa — took me sledding in that very same toboggan.” “Snow days are my favorite days, too!” Bobby said. “I can’t wait until the next one.”

“Neither can I,” Grandpa said with a huge smile.
