If you stay home, you’ll go crazy-that is the curse of the Midwest winter! So, our theory has become, face it . . . go out and enjoy! We decided to be spontaneous, bundle up and go sledding Sunday. We made the trek ‘up the hill’ to Saylorville Lake where there was a designated snow recreation area. In my mind there were giggling, warmly dressed families enjoying leisurely sled rides down perfect, snowy hills. I don’t know maybe someone had gone to the trouble of making snow stairs so the sledders could go up the hills with ease? To my disappointment, once we got to the “snow area” there were no hills larger than a lump and the road dead ended at the frozen lake. Gone was my sledding fantasy. We made the best of it and had a great time. The kids couldn’t have conquered hills much larger than the ones we found and Greg sure couldn’t have ‘snow boarded’ (with the kids sled??) much farther than he finally mastered. So, as we watched the sunset in the generous 8 degrees temperatures, we could not have been having more fun on our first real sledding adventure.
