[QUOTE="Andy, post: 232260, member: 5096"] What wonderful memories! When I was really young, we did not have a sledding hill nearby so when we moved (between 5th and 6th grade) and had a huge hill amongst the trees on the edge of our yard, my sisters and I were in sledding heaven. Dad cut a path up the hill in the summer to walk through our property and we would open it up in the winter to sled. If you didn't make the first sledding path right, you could end up hitting a tree. We had friends (boys) who did not listen to us and insisted on making that first path after the snow. Us girls had to work on changing their mistakes so we could get down the hill safely. We called the hill "Dips and Doodle" because when you "dipped" (tipped over) you would "doodle" your time away. Our sled of choice was a wooden tobaggon and we took turns steering it. We also had a much smaller hill that we used to learn downhill skiing. A friend took us to a huge huge hill for a sledding party one time. The hill was so large that there were snowmobilers int the party that drove us up the hill. Otherwise we would be so exhausted from climbing we wouldn't have lasted as long. We did some ice skating, not much, and some crosscountry skiing. I learned to snowmobile just for the knowledge - never really liked it. When we sat in our living room, we can watch cars start a drive up a steep hill. My dad talks about the winter when he would watch almost every single car start up the hill only to have to back down. He was so proud when he saw me try to attempt the hill. He sat and waited for me to back down but I never did, I had learned how to maneuver the hill in winter. Now our church has annual "Day at the Lake". One for Summer for swimming, boating, ect. and one in the winter for snowmobiling, ice fishing, skating, sledding, ect. I love our Days at the Lake. I am not an outdoor person so I am usually found indoors visiting and maybe playing a board game. Winter memories! Snowmen and snowangels have a special job - they make winter bearable. Anyone else have winter memories for Marg and anyone else with not much experience with this lovely white stuff? [/QUOTE]
