No swimming last weekend cause I was sittin' around this beauty at our annual trek to the ol' sledding hill for President's Day weekend!
I did however climb the largest dune in the state since I missed my swim!
It was a sandy year this year, but not a total wash out.
Three fourths of the dune was solidly snow-covered and you got quite a zip going on just that much of it. Liv still made it almost to the parking lot. I even went down this year after asking some random guy, "Do you think I'll break my legs if I keep them straight like this?" . . . He said...no...(-:
The crew of kids is both shrinking and growing.
Get it?
Had a pretty coastline tour as we headed back from sledding.
Beautiful blue sky, nice moderate temps.
One of the dad's wanted to find some ice balls.
It didn't go un-noticed by me that no one, not one of the many teen boys on hand, none of the dads, no one...made one single joke about that...
Lots and lots and lots of wood was used this year.
Perfect!
This year, the three remaining girls in the kids crew made U of M fleece, tie blankets, one each.
And yes, there was a bit of this going on by everyone, but there was also an adults ping pong tourney, Mexican fiesta night, a few games played, a few games watched, lots of air hockey played, a Finish roll in the snow after too much baking by the fire, lots of bacon, pizza night, lots of laughs, conversation and an overall blessed weekend yet again.
This weekend though, I was able to crank out mile #8. Mile # 9 likely has to wait until next Sunday unfortunately...unless I can get my sorry self to a morning swim...today was a volleyball tournament and hockey game all day...no swim...and next Saturday is packed with teaching and rehearsals.
Did a straight through mile yesterday though, no break downs of 12 laps and then do kicks or paddles or how I often mix up three sets of 12 laps, I just swam 36 laps straight. Did it in about 37 minutes. A mile is 35 laps but for the life of me I can not end on that odd number. Never have, been swimming for exercise since I was about 23...have never done 35 laps.
