In my previous post, about fun on our trip to Blume\u306e\u4e18<\/a>, I recounted<\/span> how fun the go-carts were, but that the real fun had only begun. The real fun<\/span> was a short<\/span>\nhill covered with some slippery surface down which you could toboggan.<\/p>\n\n

Toboggans could be rented at $3 for 20 minutes. We rented<\/span> two for an hour, and had great fun.<\/p>\n\n\n

I have no idea where the camera's focus was in that last shot, but the\nfun on Anthony's face is nevertheless wonderfully apparent.<\/p>\n\n
