I get a shiver, it’s still dark
It's been snowing in the park, and meantime
The boys are up and they want to do just one thing
The wind is blowing it’s been snowing for a long time
We feel all right when we feel that snowy sting
Well now we step outside but we don't see too many faces
Bundled up against the wind in our coats of down
No competition in other places
Not too many boys can ride so sound
Way on uptown,
Way on uptown,
Mountain town
You check out Master Chris,
He surely ain’t no priss
He can make that sled do just about anything
And a Costco sled is all that we can afford
When he gets up on the hill to ride that thing
And Tommy doesn't mind, he knows he can
Make the scene
He's riding the sled and he’s doin’ alright
He can slide the snow as well as anything
But I know that he’ll be tired tonight
We are the Sultans
We are the Sultans of Sled
And some other young kids
Well they’re watching my boys from the bottom
I know they’re wishing they could do
what my boys can do
They don't give a damn about what their mothers want them to do
They want to ride snow ‘till they’re black and blue
And the Sultans
Yeah, the Sultans ride true
Then Chris and Tommy step right up to the top once more
And say “let’s go down, my nose is cold and red.”
And after that, well it’s time to go home
And as they left the hill these are the words they said:
“We are the Sultans
We are the Sultans of Sled.”
With apologies to Dire Straits.
It’s great to be The Family Man

Sledding rocks. All kids should get the opportunity to sled at least once in their life! Lucky Chris & Tommy to get to do it often. (And hopefully lucky Family Man too - you do sled with 'em, right?)
I'm thinking about taking Aidan sledding this weekend. Should be fun.
Ok, I just want to know whats next up in the juke box, that was /is sooooo classic.
Dire Straits/M. Knopfler owe you some royalties, me thinks.
I better take the Mai-Mai girl surfing tomorrow.
Aloha!
Try to stay warm!
Sledding is awesome - when baby girl is a little older (next year) we will take them to the big hill in town - for now the hill in our side yard will have to do.
