The CIC has been invited to Reid's 22 Birthday 2nd annual wine and cheese party. February 23 9pm 9pm, but you can come up early that weekend and hang and footbag. It's in Champaign Illinois. Did I mention there will be cheese.

I have also been wanting to shred as well. footbaging when waiting for one's food to warm up isn't good enough. at least for me.

If albert einstein would have footbag, that would be me. Minus the intellect, jewish background, and a badass mustache, but yep, thats me.

Tom, I think I left a plastic bag with my wet jacket, gloves & hat in the back of you sisters car.
Rav5 once again! Sledding, food, game. Good times.
I'm so full...
Tom called in Sunday morning and asked if I wanted to go sledding before the Super Bowl and I quickly agreed. Reile woke up and wanted to go too. Tom picked up Nathan and drove over to LaRAZA to wait for Freddy so we could then hop in the car and drive out to Mt. Trashmore.
I've never went sledding during the day and the hill was sure to be packed with kids. Sure enough when we got there, the parking lot was full, the 2 smaller slopes were packed and the big hill was closed down. Big bummer at first. Thankfully, we were all determined to make the most of this outing and not just spend the whole day indoors. We walked off to an adjacent lot and sled down these humongous snow covered piles of god-knows-what. Short steep ride (drops, practically) but the landings were definitely entertaining
We had a race to see who could climb to the top of this 20ft pile of rock-ish. I did not have the foresight to pick an easier line up the pile and got stuck with with the near vertical face. Nathan had slipped off and fell to the bottom while Freddy wasn't making too much more progress than me on my left side. I got to within 3 feet to the top when i lost my footing and tumbled to the bottom. I think Tom had already won by then. I finally managed to claw my way to the top just to tumble down into the snow.
Tom went off to do some sledding while Reile, Freddy and I bombarded Nathan's hastily constructed Fortress of Sleditude (<groan> bad Superman reference) with snowballs and it evolved into a free for all snowball fight. Three of the more humerous kills were when Nathan got hit with a blind lob from Freddy from the other side of this log pile then Nathan sniping Reile in the grill through a hollowed out log. Then at some point Tom was lying in the snow taking a break in the middle of our snowball fight. Reile lobbed this huge block of snow from about 40-45 feet out that hit Tom right on the neck, just below a snowboard he was using to protect his face! Everything stopped as we started laughing our asses off.
Nathan then suggested left hand snowball throwing. I lined up with Reile about 20 feet away from Freddy and Nathan. I tagged Nathan a few times but he managed to hit me back with some decent throws right into my chest. Freddy was a snowball magnet. He could not avoid getting hit with whatever Reile threw at him. Falling back to his big guns, Reile chucked another big block of snow that seemed to hit Freddy in slow motion. The following white explosion would have made any porn star very proud indeed.
Somewhere in the middle of all this Tom and I each did a fireman carry to the other into the snow. Then I got Freddy to do a pro wrestling vertical suplex into the the softest pile of snow I could find.
Moving down to the tallest pile in he lot, Reile found a steep slope that ended in a 4 foot drop on some hard packed snow. He giggled his way through 2 runs, dropping to his feet and rolling forward into the ground. Nathan tried it with the same effect. OK, so I was now convinced that it was not so terrible. I climbed up and placed the sled beneath me. I slowly inched my way down and before i knew it, i dropped onto the sled, down the slope and abruptly over over the drop. It all happened so fast that I didn't have the chance to ready my legs for the impact. The ground had disappeared from beneath me and all my weight came crashing straight down. STRAIGHT down, I didn't shift it forward like these guys did in the runs before me. Straight. Down. My body turned into an accordion as it crumpled itself tightly with my knees smashing into my chest then extended back to 5 feet 4 inches of complete dumbass. THEN it finally rolled forward back into the ground.
Ouch.
I stayed on the ground for a few more minutes. During that time, I watched Freddy take his turn down another face of this pile. He hit one big bump that looked like it almost knocked his head off his neck. I honestly don't know how he managed to stay on the sled after that! He was still mostly on when he finally crashed into level ground. They went on to find more adventurous drops by the time I finally managed to pick myself off the ground and head towards the park just in time to see Tom take an impressive ride down a bail of hay. The res of the group had caught up with us and we coerced Freddy to ride tandem with Tom on the hay. They took careful aim at this dumb group of people just standing at the base of the hill then pushed off. They managed to walk out of Tom & Freddy's way as the two streaked towards us. For whatever reason I stepped right in their path to try and jump over them. I mistimed my jump as they rocketed beneath me. While in the air my left leg got taken out from underneath me and I hit the ground sideways. I didn't find out until later that I hit Tom in the head. Looking back it was a pretty dumb thing to do and I should not have even tried it. Sorry, man.
After sledding, we did groceries and head back to LaRAZA for the game. It seemed everyone had a hand in preparing something for dinner that night and everyone was eating soon enough. The game was- eh whatever.
All in all, another fun Sunday with the guys. Playing out in the snow was truly the highlight of the day for me.
