On March 8th, Johnny and I got to take Active on a little sledding excursion after church. It was PERFECT! We hadn't really had any snow for a couple weeks and we were getting a little nervous there would be nothing to sled on! After lot of prayer, it decided to snow Saturday and all Sunday morning like a blizzard giving us the perfect coating of fresh snow to sled in. We all went home after church, bundled up, and then drove to the gully. It was great because right as we got there, the snow stopped falling so it was nice and clear for us to sled. It was just a small group of us but that didn't lessen the fun!
We had a guy Raymond come who had come to Active for the first time that morning and a couple more guys came. There was also Todd, one of our new leaders, and his 3 kids as well as Johnny and I.
Ruthie and I were the only girls who wanted to venture out in the cold. I've been looking forward to going sledding all winter and we just have been so busy so I wasn't about to let anything stop me!
It was a really great time! We sled for 2 hours and then enjoyed a little hot chocolate to warm our tummy's. Everyone got to go down the hill until they didn't want to go anymore. Here are some pics of the students riding the sleds:

That looks like fun. Too bad I am such a wimp when it comes to the cold. Sledding is hilarious.
Looks fun! I would be jealous, but I am so into the warm weather we are having! I will just live vicariously through your pics. :)
I will shiver through the next two months as Lake Ontario keeps it about 10 degrees colder here than in town. In July the cooler temps will be appreciated but in May they are just frustrating.
Grass isn't very conducive for sledding on. But it looks like you all managed just fine. :) I didn't go sledding this year. Looks like I'll have to wait till next year!
