We had a birthday party for my son who is turning 8. We threw a "sledding party". We all met at our house and then carpooled the kids over to the snow hills.  There we all went sledding and tobogganing. After we did this for about 2 hours we went back to our house for hot chocolate, snacks and a cake we decorated to look like a sled. It was a wonderful time for both the kids and adults.
