Saturday night we went sledding. It was much later than anticipated as I was helping out a sick friend. Fortunately the sledding hill has lights and was actually open until midnight.
Three of us trudged up the steep backside of the hill to get to the top of the hill. From recent rain, the hill was iced over in many spots, making footing slightly difficult. To make matters worse, carrying five sleds up the hill for the three of us, didn't bode too well either with the winds.
We all did fairly well managing to stay planted on the ground when it was most important. I did have one attempt up the hill that was unsuccessful and to break the fall, I ended up flipping around the sled and back down the hill I went! Another time, the wind tore the sled from my grip and down the hill it went. Later, we learned that off the lakeshore the wind gusts were 44mph!
Sunday my son and I headed to Pando Park for some tubing. We had never been and thought it would be fun. Fun it was! The park offers five tubing runs and four tow ropes, when they are all in operation. The three-hour lift ticket was more than sufficient, although we stayed through the entirety. It helped that with the Super Bowl, people cleared out about two-hours into our pass allowing for almost no lines whatsoever. The weather was fantastic, hitting low 30's.
We couldn't have asked for a better day or a better weekend!
