Sledding Fun!

Hello everyone! Sorry it's been so long since my last post, but there really hasn't been too much to write about. It was really cold a couple weeks ago, with the wind chill it was getting as low as -20, so that kinda sucked. This past Friday was really warm, almost 40, but then yesterday and today it was really cold, in the single digits and the teens. We've been out cross country skiing a couple times. Our boss and his wife have some that they've let us borrow, and I had forgot how much fun it is. We were planning to go somewhere today but then we decided against it since the weather guy said it was going to be really cold. Next weekend I'm going to go to a neat place I've been hiking before that has groomed trails and spend the day out skiing. Our house-mates husband has an old pair of skis that he's going to let me borrow, so that's pretty cool. It wasn't too cold today though, so we went over to Joan's and went sledding. It was a lot of fun. Here are some photos.

Here's Joan getting ready.

This is Vera and Lane. They were probably laughing at Colleen.

Here I am shredding on kid-size snowboard. It took me about 7 tries just to stay on long enough to get to the jump, and after that, I always fell off.

This is Lane, we all hurt our a@@es pretty bad on the landing.

Colleen said I wasn't allowed to take pictures of her wearing the bright orange snowsuit. Yea right.





Hope everyone is doing well!

It looks like everyone had a really good time. It would have been hard to miss Colleen on the snow hill in that lovely orange suit she was wearing! Glad to hear that you are still planning on coming back around May. It will be fun to see you again. It hasn't been real pleasant here either. The sun finally came out again today but it was cooold.
