Where's your playground?

I haven't been off-roading in quite a while now. This hobby of pushing your vehicle to it's limits begins to burn a hole in your wallet as parts begin to fail after repetitive abuse up in the hills. I still enjoy it though and it's more enjoyable when the whole town becomes your playground. This past weekend we received several inches of snow which is something I always look forward to. It's a great feeling to leave my Jeep on 2WD and fishtail around town as I play with the throttle. I'm not reckless though, I only play on the wide and empty streets. Yet it's nice to know that my jeep will take me wherever I need to be and if I get stuck then I probably shouldn't be there in the first place.

On Saturday morning we got up early to take Ben on his first sledding adventure, however after sinking down on the fluffy snow I decided to just pull Traci and Ben around. Ben seemed rather confused at the meaning of this activity as his nose became more red with every minute. He did great, he even got to taste snow although he didn't enjoy that much. It sure would be nice if we could get a few more weeks of snow because we just started having fun.
