Ashlyne Hofbauer, 11, of Manson, gives her younger brother Max Hofbauer, 4, a push, as he prepares to slide down the hill at John F. Kennedy Memorial Park Sunday afternoon. Their father, Robert Hofbauer, looks on. Hofbauer said he thought it would be a nice day to take the kids sledding. “I was just hoping there was still enough snow,” he said. Temperatures rose above 30 degrees Fahrenheit for the first time in several days.
