ice blocking.

foreword: in the mormon world, we reserve monday nights for FHE - family home evening.

it's just a time you set aside once a week to be with your family studying the gospel and having fun!

well, here at BYU when we're away from our families, we have FHE with other apartments in our ward (congregation).

so this is what we did for our FHE activity on monday!

ICE BLOCKING!

okay. I had never been. but I'd heard about it a ton in utah. apparently it's the thing to do.

basically, you get a block of ice, sit a towel on it, and ride it down a big hill!

and guess what? IT WAS SO FUN! I was scared at first because I didn't know how fast it would go or if I'd get hurt..

but noooo!! it was so great. :)

bronwyn was a wee bit chilly.

and sadie was pumped. :)

 head first on two blocks! (all the pics are taken with my iphone.. hence the.. quality..)

 sadie and I right before we both went down for the first time in our liiiivvesss! we were basically unnaturally terrified..
