What to do on a Sunday evening? Go Grass-sledding!! These have been one of the best purchases for our family! We've had them for the past 6-7 years, and they just get better and better! (We've only had one broken bone injury! It was the kid in the picture above--he just "goes" and thinks later!)
Form...
technical merit...
doubles...
FUN!
The Hill...
the wind that day...
fast...
faster!
Everyone hauls their own...
up the hill...
blue team...
boys team...
Dad starts doing things that made me say, "You shouldn't be doing that!!"
Son does things that made me say, "Great form!!"
exhibit B...you haul your own!
"this damn camera!"
Daughter does things that made me say, "GO GIRL!!"
Dad trying not to make what I said come true, by hopping off at the last minute...
oh well...
Speed-masters!
No...he's "wiping" his nose, not "picking..."
Oldest kids RULE!!
Oldest kids ALWAYS RULE!!
"Mom in the sunset" by daughter...
"Dad's goofy grin" by daughter...
the Daughter...
our "muscle man!"
our best shot...
the end(s)
Bliss!!
The above is a picture (thank you, Simon) of what I probably looked like when my daughter told me she had to make a model (at least a foot tall) of the TAJ MAHAL....
THIS, is the Taj Mahal...
Too many swear words and a lot of sweat and tears later, Ella (she didn't swear) and I finished the framework...(the teacher said this could be a "bonding" experience....yeah...)
We had to buy an additional board, because the model was too big for just one....
post wood details...
pre-white paint application...
The delicate art of styro-foam placement...
The gold details...
Doorway details...
This is how much four rolls of paper towels look, after taking away the center pieces for towers...
And...
We...
Are...
Finished!! Ella did a great job, and I did not go crazy!!
