Hay Ride

So there is this scene in Ann of Green Gables (the movie) where Ann goes with Diana's family to a winter party. They of course travel to the party in a sleigh across beautiful fresh snow and I've always thought that was such a romantic idea.

I have yet to try a sleigh ride in the snow, but this past weekend at a church retreat, we went on a hay ride at 8:00 at night around the conference center. It's probably the closest I'll come to a sleigh ride in the snow. And I've decided it's way to cold. I don't know how anyone survived rides in the winter like that. I'm sure even bundled up it was down right freezing. It makes me very thankful for cars with heaters.
