Family Sled Races
Candy Sled Racing is very serious competition... You can see the dads (I mean kids) hard at work on designing the most aerodynamic sleds. This is another fun tradition my parents started awhile ago. There are prizes and bragging rights, so it's serious stuff. Every year Grandpa hides a golden ticket in one of the chocolate bars, the winner gets a gift certificate, as well as the first and second place winners of the race. There are heats, just like pinewood derby. It's important stuff and some family members who shall remain nameless have even stooped so low as to grease the bottom of their sled with butter, oil or whatever they could find in Grandma's cupboard! But since we've won 2yrs in a row, I'm not fessing up or pointing fingers... Ours was looking pretty cool this year with a flag. I think it helped. Thanks Mom and Dad for the great memories!
