Sledding

Sledding, Take 1

Ok, so this is the funniest thing. We didn't really plan ahead very well and waiting until the last minute to try and find a sled. Well, unfortunately, there was not one to be found. So, Brian went online to find out how to make a homemade sled. He took the top of a plastic bin (yes, the top off one from the attic that had stuff in it!!), wrapped it in outside slick duct tape and then spread wesson oil on it. I was afraid we were going to have a "National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation" on our hands. Not exactly. Watch and see.

Sledding, Take 2

After watching the above video (only in person), our neighbor felt so sorry for us that he asked if we wanted to borrow their sled...a very good, Radio Flyer sled. The girls absolutely had a ball. I haven't see them laugh and smile that much in a long time!
