Ice Blocking

Last Tuesday night for mutual we had a combined activity to go ice blocking. I'm pretty sure the last time I actually went ice blocking was when I was about 10 and I went with my sister Melissa when she was a beehive. Needless to say, I did not slide down the hill with a cold brick under my butt.

But I did get to watch some of the young men and young women get a little crazy - not to mention a couple of the adults.

We had originally scheduled the activity for two weeks prior, but we were unable to locate any ice blocks. Gas stations, grocers, everywhere was checked....nothing. So we had to postpone until some blocks were located by the manufacturer. Yes, we had to find someone who 'manufactures' ice blocks.

Everyone had a really good time. No one wanted to stop, especially when they started making groves in the grass which helped them slide even further. Even the bishop got involved and had fun!

Just before the ice blocks melted to the point where they couldn't be used, we decided to call it an evening. Everyone was safe, no one got hurt. Afterwards, we told stories of activities past, and Fred enjoyed a little of the ice himself.
