Yup it was our towns "very cool" winterfest this past weekend. And if you don't want to take my word for it check out what Disney says!

If you look closely at the picture in the newspaper article you will see our very creative friend Devon pushing his kids in last years cardboard sled. Well this year Devon and Amy's creation was a huge egg carton. It held six kids and for the adult race it held five of us. You read that correctly Amy and Devon where great enough to let Bob and I take it down the hill with them in the adult race. Unfortunately, Bob had to go into the office so Ben was oh to willing to take his spot. What fun we all had, even though we didn't win, well we barley even finished our egg sled went right off the course plowed down the fence and I'm afraid took down a few spectators!(no injuries) But the guys got us off the fence and over the finish line so we did complete this years cardboard sled race!

THANK YOU so much Devon and Amy for allowing Ben and I on your team we had a blast!



Up the hill it goes.



Just a tiny bit of how creative Grand Haven folks can get, I couldn't believe some of the sleds, people must work for months.




Testing it out.

The Kids cross the finish line!





The adults hit the fence, I was laughing all weekend about that race! We are already thinking of what to build next year.

Stopping by to say "hi" and thank you for joining in the friends at A Place Called Simplicity.

The snow races look like lots of fun! My kids would have dug it totally!
