the fridge

Yesterday we braved the VERY cold elements with our friends the O'Bryans to have a little winter fun.  We went on a toboggan run in Oakland county called The Fridge.  And it was.  We had no idea that the wait would be so cold, or so long - almost an hour for a 40 second ride. The first time we weren't sitting correctly and Eric's shoe acted as a brake most of the way down. We only got up to twenty-three mph, and had to push off of the sides to get to the end.  The second time was so much better.  We got up to 31 mph and came to a screeching halt at the end. We would have liked to go a few more times, but none of us could feel our toes, legs, or hands. It's very bright and sunny today - it probably would have been a better day...oh well.
