This is our 3rd and final winter in Korea and you would think that we would have gone sledding before this year. I mean come on now I am from Wisconsin and my hubby from North Dakota and we grew up playing in the snow come winter time. The past two winters we really hadn't seen much snow and so far this winter we have seen quite a bit for the area in which we live. And life does shut down for snow and not even a lot, like 2 or 3 inches but we have also had a lot of ice. Well today 1 January 2013 we spent the day with some awesome friends and went sledding and then had a nice warm dinner of taco soup and some really spicy salsa. So growing up as a kid we went sledding all over, where you could find a hill. I remember going sledding at Lemon Lake in Crown Point, Indiana when we lived there and at a few different places in Wisconsin with my relatives. I must say that todays experience was very new to all of us as it was organized, not just put your sled or toboggan down and go. No- we waited in lines for our turn and our "heat" to sled, then walked back up a carpeted, covered section of the hill to wait in line again. We all had a wonderful time and it even snowed big, white fluffy flakes but we didn't let that stop us. The other strange thing we encountered was that the hill took a 30 minute break so we had a few snacks. So blogger has decided to upload the pictures in no particular order and that is okay because you still get to see the fun we had today!
Jim and Zane's first sled down the hill.
The warming fire.
Attempting to toast marshmallows. The Korean's just watched in amazement!
It was hard to roast those marshmallows on little sticks.
Jim and I having a Korean snack of friend chicken, potatoes and rice cakes in a sweet and spicy sauce. It was really good!

Can't wait to get home and do some more sledding, tubing and maybe even some skiing!
Love you all,
