Sledding (or sleigh riding as my husband grew up calling it) has always been a favorite winter past time of mine. My family recently took a trip up north to our favorite camping spot for our annual sledding party. This is tradition, and each year it seems that people come up with stranger and stranger things to use to get them down the hills more quickly! Here are a few things that flew past me as I was climbing up the hill!
Sleds, (plastic and wooden), toboggans, snow boards... the usual boring things
Inner tubes of various sizes
Assorted lids (garbage cans, dumpster, rubbermaid containers)
Blow up air mattress (the kind you float on)
Plywood
Laundry Baskets (there were some cute little ones on the "bunny hills" in these)
Cardboard
Knee board/wake board (normally used on the water)
Plastic tarp (for covering wood and 4 wheelers)
Garbage bags
All of these things got me thinking (expecially after I saw the topic of the blog for this week) what other types of items do people us to sled. I googled this, and found some even more interesting, or strange things. For instance...
A toilet seat lid
Little Tykes house roof
Pick up truck bed liner
shovel (ouch...impact could really hurt!)
Cookie sheets and pizza pans
I guess that goes to show you, there is always someone out there thinking creatively! Now we will have to figure out what to take up next year! My family is always looking for creative ways to have fun! :)
