Polar Plunge




We went to Hidden Valley Ski Resort to go snow-tubing at the new Polar Plunge.  We got there when it wasn't too crowded and we had a lot of fun.  The lanes are mostly ice so you go real fast.  It was kind of scary at first but I got the hang of it.  Jim didn't like that there was rubber matting to stop you at the end.  He feels that they should've extended the lanes another 100 feet or so until you came to a natural stop.  I agree - the ride would be longer.

Snow Day


We had a big snow yesterday and therefore JCI took a snow day.  It was nice staying in my sweats all day and the only time I went out was to back out of the driveway so I could take pictures of the house with all the snow.  Jim had an accident on his way to work but didn't get hurt or anything.  He slid into a wall while on Highway 94.  He was pretty upset when he called me but when he got to work he told me it wasn't that bad.  He wrapped a chain around the bumper that had gotten pushed in and a telephone pole and pulled the bumper back out.  As Joyce says, "he can Jimmyrig anything!"

We were going to go sledding but ended up being lazy instead.  There's a new tubing hill at Hidden Valley Ski Resort called Polar Plunge that I'm pretty sure we will go to Saturday.  It looks pretty fun and the best part about it is there's a conveyor carpet to take you to the top.  I'll let you know how it goes....
