The infinitive phrase is "to spend the afternoon tobogganing".

An infinitive phrase expresses the action in a sentence. They can often function as nouns, adjectives or adverbs. E.g.: To win the approval of her mother-in-law by cooking dinner was Mary's only hope. The infinitive phrase in bold functions as a noun because is the subject of the sentence. When the phrase explains 'how' it functions as and adjective, when the phrase explains 'why' it functions as an adverb.

It threw up the dust of the road into his face to turn him around, and when he leaned into it, it suddenly let go and pushed at him from behind, laughing. But with the iron word forbidden tolling like a heavy bell by his ears, Turner would not let himself be brought to Malaga. And so with a last abrupt kick, the sea breeze twisted around and left him. Turner watched it rushing pell-mell down Parker Head and toward the shore. "Go find Lizzie," he whispered.
