our new SLED!

We've had a pretty full weekend here in Readstown...
LAST weekend we went skiing and had a funny set up.
Mostly because Papa had a LOT of work to do!
This weekend was different, but Papa still did most of the work,
he made us a SLED!
What a guy.
It started coming together on Friday...
which was the same night we bottled beer!
We headed out yesterday afternoon to test out the sled and we loved it.
It's so nice to have something that BOTH kids can ride in and that handles the snow so well.
Aaron put the thing together SO quickly and without a "plan".
I was very impressed.
Now I have a lot of other ideas of things for him to put together!
I am most impressed by this project because "nothing was purchased specifically for this project"! I think it's great that he can find stuff around that he can make things happen with. What a true scavenger, I know my dad would be proud.
We both got to have a chance with the harness.
I fully admit that I let Aaron do the big hills,
but I hope to make a better "harness system" so that I can take the big ones too...
Here's the place we'd REALLY like to live...
at least the one that's in our neighborhood.
Abandoned house, beautiful trees...
sweet set in seclusion... someday!?
David was such a good and supportive brother the whole time!
He held Ada up all the way...
I think we are pretty happy with the sled!
Thanks PAPA!!
