Sledding & Facts

Ok, so tonight was pretty fun. I organized a bunch of people from the neighborhood (and some not in the neighborhood) to come down to Sheid park and go sledding. It was WAY fun! We were there from like 6-7:30. And then afterwords, like 15 ppl came back to my place and we chilled until 8:30 or so. It was fun :)
