The next day we decided to go sledding in the mountains behind our hotel. We started the morning by walking through town to see the beautiful covered bridge.
We then went to a small tubing hill. Although they didn't have any snow, they were very clever and put rubber mesh netting down that was slick like the snow. None of cared that it wasn't snowy! It was so much fun even without the snow.

 |
| Even Mommy go in on the fun, although I was a little too long for the tube. |

 |
| After tubing, we decided to give sledding a try. It wasn't as fun as tubing but we still had a blast. |

 |
| Mommy took it all in with a glass of hot mulled wine. |
We then ventured up the mountain in our trusty little car to find a place to eat for lunch.
 |
| Look! We found snow in the valley! |
 |
| We stopped at this funky little mid-hill hotel and restaurant. The waitress spoke a little English and we had fun fumbling through ordering off the menu. Luckily we found hamburgers, pasta, and cheese so everyone we happy. Ripley even found a sand box out back to play in. |

After lunch, we headed to the Monkey Forest and found a bobsledding hill. We totally had to try this!
 |
| We could take two people on each bobsled. Teddy and I went first. |
 |
| It was a wicked fast ride to the bottom. I was a little afraid we were going to crash but, luckily, we didn't! |
 |
| Next Daddy and Ripley took the bobsled for a spin. |
 |
| We twisted and turned through a tunnel. |
 |
| And got ready at the start. |
Before dinner, Michael took a walk around our hotel and down to the lake with the camera. He caught this wonderful shot of Spindler's Mill, which is what the area is named after!
