Sledding?

A very interesting thing happened last night. We went sledding.



Okay, so it wasn't just that. It was that we 'went sledding' by sitting down in two long, homemade sleds, and were pulled around for around an hour behind a tractor. It was a very fun experience, to say the least, and I was surprised, because I never thought I could do such a thing before. As it is, I learned something new - when you don't have any hills around in sledding weather, get your tractor to pull you around!


So we sat there in those sleds in the dark of the night, and threw snow at each other. That was also the fun part... If you want to have fun, get some people who can have a good snowball fight (or in our case, snow-chunk fight... the snow was either so powdery or so stuck together already that we either had to be careful not to hurt anyone with the big chunks of frozen snow, or we had to just throw armloads of powdered snow. I haven't had a real snowball fight in a while, so that was fun. :) ) and go on a sled-ride around a farm in the dark.


At first it was just my two sisters and a girl-friend, but then two of her brothers came out, too, and sure enough, that was when the snow really started to fly! We piled up the powdered snow in our sleds, and threw it wildly. I don't recall how many times I had to apologize for getting it in someone's face. ^.^


Oh, and did you ever try to hang on to the end of the sled while it's getting pulled around? You should try it. Besides it being quite enjoyable and fun to try to hold out as long as possible (and try to pull yourself back on), you get bootfulls of snow.


It's fun.


Really.
