SHEPHERDSTOWN, W.Va. — Two-year-old Naomi Bergren, four-year-old Samuel Bergren and eight-year-old Charlotte Bergren sledded to a stop at the bottom of a snowy hill in Morgan’s Grove Park on Monday afternoon. Their parents, Jim and Molly Bergren, could be found watching them from the top of the hill, with their seven-month-old son, Benjamin.
“It’s a good hill!” Jim said, mentioning they moved to Shepherdstown in 2021. “We live right across the street from Morgan’s Grove Park, so this is the ideal place for us to go sledding. We sledded out here last year, too.”
Jim noted that the recent snowfall was an exciting change for their children, who begged to go sledding that morning.
“Charlotte said this morning, ‘Daddy, you’re going to take me to the park, right?’” he said, chuckling with his wife. “They make sure we get outside!”
This was not always the case for the family.
