One day in February we went sledding from a hill in Prospect Park. This time, we found a nice, juicy hill. The kids were somewhat disappointed on the previous trip because their grandparents told them they'd be going down BIG hills... but we didn't find any. They had fun anyway, but this time, they had the real deal.
It's hard to tell from these photos, but the hill was as high as a two-story building, and the distance from the top to the foot was about the length of a large city block. Imagine installing a slide outside of your second floor window and having it stretch for one long block. That was that hill.
Looking up from the bottom. Zusha is in the lower left corner, bringing up the sled:
I know it doesn't look big at all, but I was standing where the sleds come to a stop when I was taking this photo.
And here is the view from the top down. The three people are Zusha, (bringing up the sled) my mother-in-law, and Gedalya sliding down.
There is very little that can compare to zipping over the packed, icy ground at breakneck speed on a device that has no brakes or controls!
Whiiiiz down...
