On the weekend when it was Abigail's party all our boy friends were away, so none of them could make it to the party - it was an all girl affair!
But by Monday night they were all back home. I had decided to take Abigail tobogganing on her birthday and so Bryce, Christopher and Joel decided to join us.
The tobogganing park - Cool Runnings is in Durbanville just behind Tygervalley shopping center.
First we had some lunch and lit candles and sang to Abigail.
And then it was time to have the first ride.
The toboggan is just a flat cart with wheels underneath and a single control - a brake on top. The rest is up to gravity!!
First you get hauled up on a cable pulley system:
Up
and up
and up.
And then - you go down!
It was a lot of fun but I'm no speed freak so I was one of the slow riders! But most of the rest of our party were adrenaline junkies!!
Some of the adults enjoyed it more than the kids!!
Allan had it down to a fine art, even sussed out the "fast car" - apparently there's always one!!
Some can even take photo's while hurtling down the track!!
Then it was time for me to ride with Abigail - her request - which was fine...except that she was controlling the brake!!
A little faster than I would have liked!!!
Sometimes it's tough being the youngest sibling (boy can I relate to that emotion!!), these little guys did a lot of waiting while their older brothers and sister went on ride after ride after ride!!
I can see that this won't be the last time we go tobogganing!
