They trudge through the snow, their dog bounding along beside them, then a slushy, steamy bus ride takes them to the tobogganing hill for some winter fun. The boy describes all the sights and sounds of the day, from the frost in Dad's beard and the snow \"pillows\" in the park, to the noisy clunking snow plows and the singing buskers they pass on their way home.
