It’s kind of funny how our views change over time. As kids we loved snow storms because it usually meant a day off from school along with countless hours of fun in the snow. As adults we seem to have forgotten those times, we now often correlate snow with having to get up extra early to clear off the driveway only to battle long commutes.

Luckily we all still have an inner kid buried within us and there is no better way of putting the fun back into winter then by visiting the Lake County Forest Preserves. After last week’s snowfall I took my family to the sledding hill located at the Wauconda Forest Preserve. The hill is a decent size and it’s lit up after dark. We all had so much fun zipping down the hill. It truly brings back the childhood enjoyment of winter. I highly recommend checking it out. Also you can get all the latest sledding hill and other winter sport conditions at http://www.lcfpd.org/.
