Sleds, a Frozen Pond, and Some Worms

After a 12 year hiatus from sledding after falling and breaking my two front teeth out, I dediced to give it another try...it's so much easier sledding on snow instead of ice, who knew? The results were good- no broken teeth. It was a perfect day of some great runs down the hill, wet buts, great weather and lots of laughs. There was one incident, though- a minor wipeout by me, just took out a dog and a small child, no big deal. I would have felt at least a little better if I hadn't hit that dog three times... All in all though, good day!

After a great day sledding, we all came back to Craig & Amy's house where we are staying for the week in Iowa City, and Craig took us out to the pond in the back to ice fish! The ice was at least 8 inches thick, no chance of falling through, although I think it would have made for an exciting afternoon and adventure. Maybe next time.

First frozen body of water to stand on ever!

Well, at the end of the day, does it really matter if you caught no fish? I say, it's the memories made, and the pictures you got, that really count.
