Sledding, Div School Style

In honor of tonight's snowfall, to keep up the rapid-fire posting, and to thank you all for donating your hard-earned recession-era funds to the March of Dimes, we present another update.

The backyard was getting too tame, so DHV and DKV decided to try out the famed "Div School" hill sledding. 
It's a fairly steep hill with an iron fence at the bottom. You're supposed to steal a dining hall tray and go down this thing. No one we know has ever done that, but if you have, more power to you.

The long walk up.
The track was fast, packed snow and ice.  Perhaps too fast.

Hitting the brakes, Fred Flintstone style. Danny caught that spray right in the face.DKV's sledding face.Smiles all around. But DHawk wanted only Daddy to continue the sledding.
The snow suit makes DHV look a little like Cartman.Solo DKV catching air,and landing awkwardly.DHV watching with worry. Good thing he wasn't on that run.
Maybe next year.

I'd say you know plenty of people who have used dining hall trays on that hill. When you return the tray, it's no longer "stealing."

I've seen the "sledding face" before. Mouth open, intense concentration, joy, and the desire for more speed: It's the Vining TANG face.
