Sledding, Skiing, Snowshoeing

So, yesterday for my friend Jess's birthday, I attended her amazing and fantastic sledding party, which really brought out the child within me! It was great. We arrived at the hill with a variety of sleds - a few tubes, saucers, the torpedo, the snowboogie, etc. Which sled to choose first? Oh gosh, it was such a hard decision. My first run down the hill was on the snowboogie, which I may contest as the best sled ever. Later, it was great going down on my tummy on that sled. The scariest ride was definitely a double-up with Julia on the torpedo, where we crashed once on the way down and then again purposely at the bottom. We ended in a heap of bodies, laughing our butts off. At the end, we took one last run and headed for the car. Halfway, I discovered that my camera was still at the top of the hill. One last climb up that hill! Wow, it was good exercise! All in all, I can't wait to go sledding again!



This is after climbing the hill the last time to get my camera...exhausting!

Today, we headed to the Rattlesnake and I did some cross-country skiing, while Julia trekked on my snowshoes alongside. The trails were so icy that at one point, I really thought I would lose my life. I survived.
