Curling!

Most people curl their hair, but since I'm a little different I curled on ice. Yes, I went curling like in the Winter Olympics. We went to a curling open house at Lloyd Center. It was super fun! It looks kinda of weird on T.V. because mostly you think "Wow! They won, but wait what just happened?" Really curling is a complicated sport (on ice). First, you must put on "grips" which help you not slip on the ice. Then you go on one side of the ice in your "sheet" (the column which you play in). After you get down in a crouch and put a slide under your foot. A slide makes you able to slide on the ice. Then you get a balance tool and a rock then you push off and throw the rock! Next two or three people come and sweep on the ice which makes the rock go farther and straighter. After you must get it in the "home" (the goal). Finally, after the game is over then you see which color rock (out of red or blue) is closest to the middle of the "home" and that team wins! Last night we won! It was really fun and you can even do a junior camp for three weeks in March one afternoon a week. So here is a link to the website if you want to check it out. Also here are some awesome pictures that my talented Mom took!
