Skiing - Bon Fires - and Hot Chocolate make a party

What could be be better than for Willy to have a guest host writing about bon fires and cooking hot chocolate.  Hope you don’t mind Willy using an occasional guest host. – Enjoy and 10-4 Willy.

The winter time is always full of activities in the snow and our family has a tradition that when it snows we all get together and build a fire, make hot chocolate and get the quads out. There is a hill not far away that is a great place to go skiing, snowboarding and sledding. We pack up all of our gear on the quads, including the dog, to make it easier to carry all of the things we will need and then set the home alarm system (click) before we head out for a day of fun.

The only problem with the place we go sledding and skiing at is, once you get to the bottom, it is a hike to the top. The quads are used to carry everyone back to the top of the hill by loading them up on an old toboggan and pulling them back up the hill so they can slide down the hill over and over again. The bon fire is nice to keep everyone warm and the hot chocolate just makes it a special day that everyone enjoys and looks forward to anytime they see the snow start to fall. Everyone gets anxious to find out if this weekend will be the sledding party weekend.
