Then, there are other things I hate about being a grown-up. Money. Endless loads of laundry. Money. But, most of all being so busy taking care of life that I forget to take time to play. Dave always says one of his favorite quotes is that people tend to be humans doing and not human beings. With every day stress, it's really easy to forget to enjoy life.
Enter the Young Women organization. I'm not really part of the playing side....I am the Sunday teacher. But, I do get to go to all the activities - and without the stress of planning. We have such a fun group of girls. They are so carefree and fun to be around. It brings back so many memories of being that age. Time goes way too fast.
Anyway, back to the post at hand. Last night, we went ice blocking. In my every day business for the last 10ish years or so, I completely forgot about ice blocking! It's the most wonderful thing in the world!!
Ice blocking is simple. It's a summer sledding activity. You need hills, a block of ice, a towel, bravery to make it to the bottom, and enough muscle to push the block of ice back to the top. It's a hoot! Our kids had a blast!!!
Bria got brave and decided to go head first.
Max took a little while to actually get the hang of it.
First, he went faster than the block.
Then, the block went faster than him.
By the end of the night, he was great at pushing the block back up the hill.
It was so much fun to get out and just have an enjoyable night off. I know we all needed it.!
I still have never been ice blocking.
ReplyDeleteDoes ice blocking qualify as a water sport?
It looks like you guys had a blast!
ReplyDeleteI think the last time I was ice blocker was when I was 16! Wow, you're right about forgetting to do certain fun things you loved growing up. I might have to do this with my kids sometime!
