Sun, Feb 25 2007 - Tobogganing (View Original Event Details)
|  |
For the first of three scheduled tobogganing events, this one was a doozie!
There was more ice and green patches than snow, but the enthusiastic group made up for the poor conditions. We met everybody in two locations and started the event. My craft was as useless to steer which made me crash during every run injuring my elbows and butt.
With Stephanie and Scott providing some alternative rides, everyone had a chance to slide down the hill and try their luck at the hill.
Once the injuries to the coordinator and some cold hands started to slow down the fun, we decided to call it a day and visit the Riverdale Farm. Stephanie with her camera made a new friend in a squirrel giving him some M&M's. After scaring several cows, goats and chickens Hong suggested a feast of Dim Sum in Little China Town.
After Sadly letting Rebecca and Dan go home the rest of us made it down to the restaurant and enjoyed some chicken feet, Pig feet and other things. Over all it was a fantastic day!
I want to Thank Stephanie and Scott for the spare rides, Stephanie for keeping moral up and Scott for the longest ride down the hill. While Dan came close in distance it came just a tad short. Tara, Faye and Grace all seemed to form their little magic carpet group sledding down the hill almost in unison with some funny dismounts. Thanks to Hong for the Farm and food suggestions making it an even better day.
