ICE BLOCKING

Here in desert, where we live, it practically never snows. 
One would think that we never get to go sledding,
but not so...
Last night we took the Activity Day Girls (church group for girls 8-11 years old),
and went ice blocking to a nearby park.
This is how it works:  you get a block of ice from a store, you hike it to the top of the hill, and you set it on the ground. 
You sit on the ice,(you may want to use a towel between you and the block of ice)
...and then...
weeeeeeeeee....
the ice melts in the heat and you slide down the hill
 
According to Maija it was the best activity yet!
