Mill Woods Park

On Saturday, Simone from Delle's school invited us to join her family for an afternoon of toboggan fun at Mill Woods Park.

We brought along Delle's class mascot, Kristy Lou the Koala to join in the fun.

Of course, Cayde and Addison were straight into it, diving down the hill on their sliders, as were Simone's kids, Danielle and Katie.

I gave it a go on kid sized slider. Needless to say, I had bits hanging off all over the place, and I crashed about halfway down the hill.


Trying again with a larger vehicle with considerably more success...



Enough about me, what about Delle and the kids (and Kristy Lou)?


Here they go. Yes, the squealing is Delle.



And yes, when a big person rides on the back with a little person on the front of a slider, they often end up going backwards at the bottom of the hill.



Of course, I had to have a go taking Kristy Lou down the hill.
Here's the view from "Kristy Cam".



It kind of ended in disaster :-) Funny how tricky it is to hold on to the slider and the camera at the same time.

After a quick trip down to the frozen lake at the park we headed back to Simone and Mick's house for a delicious pasta dinner.

With all that spaghetti, I just had to enlighten Simone and Mick to the deep religious significance of the meal thanks to the Flying Spaghetti Monster...

Anyway, thanks for a great day Simone, Mick, Danielle and Katie.
