Having Fun in a Sleigh

The image shows two young children seated in a horse-drawn sleigh, ca. 1900.This picture shows a man and a woman in a sleigh. In the background, there is a big brown house and some really big trees. You can tell it is winter because of the white snow on the ground. Also, the sleigh doesn't have wooden wheels; it has sleigh runners instead. Sleigh runners are big metal rods that swerve up, and they are pretty fancy. They are a lot easier to ride on the snow than wheels because they are nice and smooth on the bottom. Nowadays, we would just have winter tires on our cars.

It amazes me how many new things are invented. We went from candles to light bulbs, and we went from wooden wheels to rubber. It's just cool.

Also in this picture is one beautiful big white horse.
