The day after Christmas we went to Suicide Hill to go sledding! Mom, Jeff, Bill, Steph, Evan and I made the short drive to the hill. Russ was coming down with a cold so he decided to stay warm and get some sleep! We were borrowing my Aunts car for the week which does not have 4-wheel drive so we had to push it in to the parking lot since the area had not been plowed. We got the car in and headed down to the hill. We all had a blast!
After our sledding we headed back to the cars. It was much harder getting my aunt's car out. We pushed and pushed and couldn't get it over the snow bank. A nice guy in a truck was driving by and offered to help pull the car out! I don't know what we would have done without him!
Next we were off to visit the Amish. They have stores in their homes where you can buy stuff they have made. We bought a rug, I will have to post a picture later. We went to 3 houses and got a good feel for how they live. 3 houses was more than enough! We stopped at Hideaway a bar in Chaseburg for Fried Portabello Mushrooms, Fried Cheese Curds, and homemade potato chips! YUM!!

(it was freezing cold and they were outside plowing!)
Friday night we also went down by the river and looked at the Christmas lights.
After the Mall we checked into our hotel and went to an indoor water park - Water Park of America. We hit the water park from 4pm - 10pm and all had a blast! It wasn't as big as we expected but we had fun!Sunday we headed back to La Crosse. Once we were back my Aunt Bev took us for a little drive so Russ could see La Crosse. We stopped at the Worlds Largest Six Pack, The Mississippi River, the house my dad grew up in, and the University.
