\u00a0I\u2019ll be honest, at first I didn\u2019t think it was on purpose. \u00a0I figured it she got her feet on the disc and didn\u2019t know how to get off. \u00a0That is until she did it two more times! \u00a0One time she even took the disc up to the top of the hill herself and rode it down. \u00a0Sometimes I\u2019m certain she thinks she\u2019s human.<\/p>\n<p>My 8 year old\u2019s lifelong dream has been to submit a video to\u00a0<strong>AFV.<\/strong>\u00a0 I can\u2019t tell you how many times he\u2019s tried to plan out something funny to submit. \u00a0I told him it is much better to submit a completely spontaneous video. \u00a0I had barely stopped recording when he asked me if I was going to submit Dakota\u2019s sledding adventure. \u00a0When we got home that night, I did as he asked. \u00a0This past week I got an email saying that our video had been accepted! \u00a0What that will mean for our video, I have no idea. \u00a0But it\u2019s a step in the right direction. \u00a0I\u2019m hoping that by having a lot of views, the video maybe stands a better chance of getting selected for the show, so I\u2019d love for you all to take a few seconds of your time and watch it. \u00a0I promise you\u2019ll have a smile on your face when you\u2019re done:)<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<div class=\"mailmunch-forms-after-post\" style=\"display: none !important;\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A few weeks ago we took our boys up north for their very first sledding experience. \u00a0Even though<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[25],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/veryauto.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/952"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/veryauto.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/veryauto.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/veryauto.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/veryauto.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=952"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/veryauto.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/952\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1027,"href":"https:\/\/veryauto.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/952\/revisions\/1027"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/veryauto.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=952"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/veryauto.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=952"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/veryauto.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=952"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
