The Torpedo

Okay - so our sled is called the Torpedo... I should have known. We walked to CP which wasn't that easy. Although most of the sidewalks had been somewhat packed down - the crosswalks had not. There were huge drifts of snow (sometimes to my waist) with only a tiny walking path cut out. Needless to say - we had to get creative to get the kids (on sleds) to the park. We finally made it to some hills that initially didn't seem all that steep. We climbed to the top of the hill and got into the Torpedo (Griffin in front, Macy in middle, Mommy in back). I guess it never donned on me that the more weight you put in the sled - the faster you will go! Who was I kidding... we were afterall, in The Torpedo. So I pushed off and away we went... not only down the first hill at the speed of lightning, but down the second hill (which I hadn't planned on) . We ended up crashing into some deep snow and rolled off into a dogpile with Macy on the bottom. It wasn't a pretty site. Macy was done. Griffin however, was loving it! I found a spot to sit with Macy while Griffin enjoyed lot's of (fast) sledding!
