I've always been a fan of snow and the outdoor activities that accompany the snow. So when Alicia invited us to go on a snowmobiling adventure, I quickly accepted! We got suited up in snow gear including helmets (which Bentley didn't love) and headed for the hills. There were only a few problems with the adventure. The first being that we woke up to a crazy snowstorm/blizzard. The second being the part where Alicia didn't inform me that the ride was 28 miles in, eat at the Box Y Lodge, and then the same 28 miles back out. Which turned out to be an incredibly long and uncomfortable ride for a 2 year old who hated his helmet. I'm a pretty slow rider, because I don't have much experience in driving snowmobiles.
For a good majority of the ride, I was behind the group by 5-10 minutes. Usually, I would find someone stopped on the trail to make sure that I was still coming. So it was no surprise around mile 13 when all the sleds were pulled off to the sides of the road. I thought they were just waiting for me again....Then, I see Trav's little girl sleeping in the snowbank.
However, the rest of the ride was enjoyable. We enjoyed a great meal at the Box Y Lodge and let the kids run around helmet free for a while. Then it was back on the sleds. While the boys stopped frequently to test out the powder, I just drove slow and steady. Blowing snow and whiteout conditions made for a turtle's speed, but we surely enjoyed ourselves! Alicia and Trav thanks for the invite, it was a blast!
