Summertime is here in Modesto, and it’s in the best part. When things are getting warm, but before they get so hot you can’t bear to have skin.
We got together with our friends from church for a family activity, and somebody in the planning got really creative and fun and decided to have an ice blocking party.
One of our friends has the best dog ever named Lulu, and Atti is so totally in love with her. If she’s around, Atti doesn’t care about what else is happening. He wants to give her kisses and stuff his hands in her fur and say, “Aww…Doggie.”
There’s a park near here that seemed to be perfectly made for ice blocking adventures, so we all got together with our ice blocks and towels and took turns sledding down the hill. Here in California where we don’t get snow, we have to get a little creative with our outdoor sports.
Another of our friends got in touch with his inner engineer and made an official ice blocking sled, a long piece of wood with slots on the bottom to hold the ice in place, and a handle to steer with. It was brilliant, and Atti was the most excited by it because we could take him down with us.
Our little daredevil couldn’t get enough of it.
