After two months of trying, all of the stars aligned for
us to finally make an attempt to go sledding at Toboggan Hill north of Davison
on Saturday, February 25th. Tara, Tyler, Samantha, Drew, and Jayden all went,
along with Tyler's friend Mike. Although we had already had a busy morning with
Drew's hockey class and Sam's basketball game, we figured that we should try and
squeeze in a sledding trip before the weather changed again. There haven't been
many chances this year where there was snow on the ground and the temperature
was right, and even when it does have that magic combination it doesn't last
long. Good thing we did, because over the next few days since the temperature
reached the lower 40's and the snow is pretty much all gone! While we escaped
unscathed, not everyone who was there could say the same. We witnessed two
people come away injured - one who rode to the ER in their own vehicle and
another who required the use of an ambulance to get there. We were smart enough
to stay away from the hill where these people got hurt and managed to have a
great time ourselves (even though I was feeling my age and soreness for several
days after)!
