Arizona Ice Blocking

Over the long weekend we were invited to go ice blocking. Boy, the memories that this activity brought back. If you are from here I am sure you remember the good old days of blocking down the hills at Freestone (It's now not legal there). We went where the hills were huge, and even Dane had a blast. However, the funnest part was the "Summer Sled" that my friend brought. I don't have a pic of it, but it was faster and more exciting than any block of ice, sled, or toboggan that I have ever seen. I want one!!

For all of you in snowy places, click here to see the official description of ice blocking...

Tyler spent the entire time playing with a McDonald's toy he found...go figure.

Ha, this picture actually looks like families having fun sledding down hills of snow instead of ice blocking down acres of dry, yellow bermuda grass.
