Trying to Enjoy Winter…HA!!

There are moments, that I try to embrace winter. Trust me, I’m not going for a run during the winter but I certainly admire those who do!!

So I will encourage the kids to go skating, toboganning and skiing. Infact, we live two blocks from a city ski hill so we have been dropping of our son once a week with a buddy to enjoy some nite snowboarding.

 I might even join them skating but most likely I will sit on a bench and watch. (don’t forget..Im NOT SO SUPERMOM).

A few years ago, we went to Collingwood for the weekend and I declared …”lets try to enjoy  the snow”.

So I tried cross country skiing for the second time in my life.

See the picture? Let’s just say…I had a ball!! When I wasn’t lying on the snow, I actually worked up a sweat. I would venture to say that I would try that sport again.

UNLIKE TUBING.

I went down the hill ONCE, and I hyperventilated for the first time in my life. The 6 year old kids around me were having a blast while I sat at the bottom of the hill waiting for them to run out of tickets! Lesson learned…tubing is NOT for me.

How do you enjoy the winter? Do you think you could live in a city that doesn’t have snow?

Next week, I’m off to Ottawa with my skates and I’m going to skate on the Rideau Canal for the first time in years (naturally there’s Beavertail Kiosks on the Canal so that will be an incentive!!).
