We didn't have anything extraordinary planned for the weekend. I took Alison for her skating lesson on Saturday morning, and we went to Scheels to kill a little time, look for shoes and ride the ferris wheel in the afternoon.
Sunday afternoon we took the kids to Rheault Farm for a little winter festival. It was a beautiful 30 degrees and sunny, with very little wind. One of the best days for weather we've had in a long time. Which was great, because the park district was giving kids free sled dog rides around the farm. I told Alison that I was too big to go on the sled (it was 14 and under) but if she was going to be brave she could go. She sounded pretty confident so we signed the waiver form and got in line. I was kind of expecting her to back down by the time it was her turn, but each time the dogs came around she got more and more excited. When it was finally her turn, the musher wanted to have one more kid in the sled, mostly just to keep the line moving fast. So they added another kid and off they went.
I think Alison is still grinning from the ride.
It's rained nearly all day today, which made for a slippery drive in and caused some street flooding one the way home. About that flood insurance policy...
