And he was dragged along to the next obstacle. Now, how many were there again? And where was the hot cocoa? Carlton looked around them curiously, narrowing his eyes to see off into the distance. Tasty treats? Anywhere?
Then his eyes landed on the christmas trees. His eyes widened. He LOVED everything that had anything to do with Christmas. Carlton suddenly gained a whooole lot of energy and pulled on the older girl's hand.
"Christmas trees!" He bounced a little in the snow where he stood and watched the trees lovingly. So he might have missed the instructions because of the snow Yetis (which he'd totally forgotten about now) but all he wanted to do was to decorate the trees. "We need a star do put at the top." He murmured lovingly.
Wait- Huh? Carlton looked up at the owner of the foot he'd latched on to in the tunnels. Share a snow tube? "Okidoks, let's share a tube. And then we decorate." He supposed he could hold off on the decoration for a while. Just a little while though.
Now, where were they supposed to go? Carlton watched the other students grab a hold of a tube and a tree and move on in the run. Right. They were still in a run. "Hurry uppp, we're lagging behind!" Which was totally Carlton's fault. Carlton let go of her hand and ran up to the nearest tube, he threw his arms around it and started pulling.
It slid a little on the snow but not very much. He huffed. "Heavy." He murmured, looking over at his newfound friend. Hi friend. Wanna help with the heavy stuff, friend? With her help he was sure they could get both the tube and the tree where they were supposed to go.
"I don't want to be eaten by a Yeti!" Even though Yeti almost sounded like Jedi, he still didn't want them to eat him whole.
EEK.
"Maybe we get to decorate them at the bottom!" And how did she get stuck with all the heavy work? Char attached two trees to the tube and then did her best helping to get it up the mound. And more she wasn't going to do it all on her own so it was good that he was still helping, right?
"I can totally destroy Yetis if they catch up!" Char assured him between breaths. This was hard! Your feet slipped even as they crunched and.... they were at the top! AND THE YETIS WERE RIGHT BEHIND THEM.
"Get on, hold on!" Yup that was all the warning Char gave the firstie before she tugged him onto the tube with her and kicked off down the mound.
Woohoo! This was the best part for sure! Even if being on one tube with two people and two trees being tugged along behind was kind of making it hard to steer....
There was the end! They were gonna make it.... if they could stay on course!
