Garbage Sled

You know what's great? When something you pick out of the garbage turns out to be awesome.

Last spring, I went on a garbage picking extravaganza with some friends of mine. It was truly amazing and I plan to do it again this year. But anyway, during our garbage picking I grabbed this old wooden sled. It wasn't in the best shape, but I figured it could be fun.

So Scott and I decided it was time to fix this thing up and get it going. We sanded down the rustiness and spray painted the metal blades a lovely, bright red:


It looks pretty sharp and we just have a little more painting to do. Then we took it out and gave it a try. I thought the blades might just get stuck in the snow, but it turned out to be fabulous. We went pretty fast and it was nice and smooth, unlike those dumpy plastic things they have today.


I know, I'm pretty cool. And I didn't even fall off once!

I want in on the extravaganza this year! I don't want to miss out like last year.

I'm jealous that you went sledding without me... next time I'll call in sick to babysitting! ;)

And (!) I just found out that you actually created "Christian FAIL". HHAhA! I love it -- even if it is just an empty, lonely blog. At least it ... exists...

;)

Kara,

Yes I figured I'd grab the Christian Fail when I could. Although I kind of forgot about it. Let me know if you have any great Christian Fail ideas :)
