Cul de Sac by Richard Thompson for January 26, 2010

finally!!

Two head firsts, and even Alice is ready to call it quits.

This is why I have been sledding once……

This is why I have been sledding once……

And posting twice. :D

You can get your head out of the snow, Alice - nobody’s watching.

Her nose most be acting as an anchor. Lift your head sweetie.

some of us girls are so hardheaded.

That was the right push Petey. Twice even!

This is every sledding experience I have ever had. First there is excitement and anticipation (mainly because I couldn’t remember the last time due to head injury or something), then the climb up the hill, and 5 seconds later I am stuck upside down in a pile of snow. I end up cold, wet, and wondering what kind of insanity pushes me to get up and do it again. Actually, that could also describe pretty much any of my skiing experiences too, except with more pain involved.

the secret to a good day sledding is having someone at the bottom of the hill to tell you how far the next car is. our favorite spot was right next to a busy street

Her flyer is obviously insufficiently flexible. Judging by the way it’s dumping her off each time, perhaps it says “Nose-bud”.

Petey’s a good big brother, to NOT be having fun at this particular moment.

I had alot more fun having a younger sister than she did having an older brother.

Alice is riding too far forward, she needs to sit in the back and lean back, luge-like. then it will really “ziiiinnnggg”…

love the use of white space here. Feels wintery
