SNOWMOBILING

Well, just as we hoped, we've been busy with the kids and the sled. Between the backyard rink and the snowmobile, we don't spend a whole lot of time in the house which was part of our plan. We are pretty active but besides hockey, tend to slow down in the Winter time which isn't great. With things on the up around here, we've been even more active and have been doing some fishing and want to get the kids introduced to ice fishing as well. So after much discussion, DH & I decided that snowmobile racing is a very expensive hobby and running, racing, maintaining and repairing two race sleds is just to much money, especially since hockey & racing run in the same season. So this Summer we sold our ice/grass sled, the first racing machine we purchased. It went to a huge racing outfit in Saskatchewan and I'm sure it'll win a lot of races for that team. We bought ourselves a machine that we could just get out and ride. And after DH spent two days in the garage rebuilding the motor we were good to go. Oh and $600.00 on helmets! Yikes. Not a cheap hobby. So after working up my courage again, after years of not riding, last weekend I took the ditch and trails along highway 3 up the big hill. What a great view.

This weekend we've been out on the lake. So much fun.
