Winter Down South

Staff photographer Todd Sumlin took this picture that made the Charlotte Observer's Sunday on line edition. Notice the folks on the top of the hill are cheering for the sledder who is none other than Ms. Arcen at the bottom of the hill. If you look closely you will see me(Blue Coat) and Zoo Zoo on the right at the bottom of the hill as well. Saturday she woke me up early saying, "Dad, it is a winter wonderland out there, lets go sledding!" We left soon after that loaded for the day and headed over to the huge hill at Cordelia Park. What a day indeed, almost six hours of watching my kid grow while she ran up and sledded down with herself and her new sledding pal Rosalyn. The rest of this post is a multi media package including three little fun to watch videos.(sorry Bastard you won't be able to see them on your phone but do look when you get home, k?)

This first one is self explanatory, just watch.

This second shorty is just one clip of Ms. Arcen running the entire middle hill and down really fast to the bottoms. It should have been edited into the video above but somehow in my haste to publish the film, I missed it.

And finally a special feature starring the former ex professional golfer Hope Edge, her friends and their kayak snow sledge.
