Doni slid down a hill the RIGHT way at Bowers School Farm.
You may recall that I tried to slide down the hill over the summer at Pine Knob... Things did NOT go as well as I had hoped. This weekend I went to Bowers School Farm in Bloomfield Hills. Friends, Doni slid down a hill the RIGHT way. Please pardon me for speaking in the third person, but I was very proud of Doni. JK
It was my first time a Bowers School Farm. Their Winter Park is super family-friendly. Bowers has accessible walking areas for strollers and kid-friendly experiences. Bowers is known for their tubing. It is EXTREMELY popular. When I arrived, I noticed a SOLD-OUT sign for the tubing experience. I can see why. You don't have to have snow to go tubing! That's a pretty big deal. Four slide runs are lit up with rainbow lights. You get a push, fly down, and artificial turf breaks your speed at the bottom.
Kids really are fearless.
I watched a ton of kids going down this slide, but when it was my turn... I was a bit apprehensive. lol It doesn't help that as an adult, I fully realize my lack of coordination. Check out my run in the video below. Austin took this from the top of the hill and I got a clip of him from the opposite end of the run. It was super fun!
Bowers School Farm has a lot of other activities besides tubing. They have a brand skating rink, firepits, a gift shop, and concessions. Most importantly, the staff is SO FRIENDLY and accommodating. Some staff knew I was with WCSX, others did not and regardless, every one of them were wonderful. I got some hot chocolate for myself, Austin and Celeste. The lady forgot to put marshmallows in. I said nothing because we'll live without them. I didn't want to make a fuss. The lady realized it, apologized, and took the tops back off to add the marshmallows. I told her not to worry about it, it was no big deal. She replied, "We want you to have the best experience possible," and gave me marshmallows. It sounds like a small point, but it was a big deal to me. She didn't know I was with WCSX. I'm sure that's a level of friendliness she shows with everyone.
Check out the pics from our fun at Bowers School Farms Winter Park! If you get a chance, I'd check it out for yourself. It's open now through February 26th. The hours fluctuate so plan ahead. I would also HIGHLY recommend purchasing your tubing tickets ahead of time. You can find out more about Winter Park when you CLICK HERE.
Tons of folks stopped by a free spin on the WCSX prize wheel!

Bowers also keeps a few animals on hand near the skating area.

You never know which animals will be out (their care comes first) but this guy with the amazing smile was out when I was there. I stopped and talked to him for a bit. You know, told him how beautiful he was and moved along. Normal stuff.

The super cool thing about Bowers School Farm in Bloomfield Hills is that you don't need snow to go tubing! Doni stopped by last season and hit the run!

Austin from our WCSX team is AWESOME when it comes to creativity in his promo shots. I thought it was hilarious and genius giving the snowman some WCSX gear. :)

WCSX team member, Celeste, and I took advantage of the snowman photo op. Celeste was not happy about being the male snowman. lol... I stuck my hair out to rag on her like "I'm super feminine snow woman" and instead, I gave myself a beard. #fail
