Chicago Part 3: Wilmot Mountain

February 9, 2007

Been busy getting ready for the new year, with the cleaning and tidying and whatnot. I’m SO behind on my trip posts. BLEH

Since it didn’t snow in Chicago while I was there, Rob drove a couple hours to Wilmot Mountain where there’s a ski and snowboarding area. We went on new year’s eve so the place was kinda busy. I enjoyed the roadtrip though, because I got to see a lot of the countryside e.g. farms, lakes, parks etc.

As you can see, the snow is melting off because it just wasn’t cold enough to snow.

I didn’t try skiing or snowboarding as I did not have the proper clothes and they require first-timers to take lessons and it wasn’t cheap. Even walking on the snow was “hazardous” with my boots. Kept feeling like I would slip and fall on my ass, like I did on the ice skating rink during the Winter WonderFest. HEH

And so….

The camwhoring starts…

Robbie likes this picture a lot. I was enjoying the view when he called me. I turned around and he snapped the picture. So he’s really proud of it *roll eyes* HAHAHA
I was happily standing and “posing” for my pictures but Rob made me sit on the snow. Needless to say, my ass was freezing cold and wet when I stood up.

So, I made HIM posed for the camera. You will witness just how unbelievably weird and crazy we are.

Yes, I’m attempting to pee like a dog.

We stayed and played for about 2.5 hours before leaving. I must say I was reluctant to leave because it was a lot of fun just playing in the snow. We had a little snow fight too. I tried to make a snowman but failed miserably because I didn’t know how!!!! We only had a pair of waterproof gloves anyway.
