Gun It?

So our house has a fairly steep gravel driveway. If it snows alot I am snowed in for sure, as my car does not make it up the hill. While there is still snow on the road, lately I have been able to get out of the drive way provided I can get a good speed going and shoot up the hill. A while back I said to Ella that I need to gun it and we will make it out of the driveway. So now Ella tells me to "gun it mommy" whenever we leave (whether there is snow or not). Well it snowed some yesterday and I figured I would be snowed in, but I wanted to go to Fred Meyer today so I decided to try. Needless to say I had a very hard time, it probably took me at least 5 or 6 tries, I think mostly because it was still early morning and there was a thin layer of ice on the concrete part of our driveway. While it is not fun having a hard time getting out of the driveway, it was a bit amusing as I had a little girl in the back cheering me on with "Gun it" "Gun it". We finally made it after I decided to only try one more time (as I did not want to ruin the car/tires and mostly importantly harm the children). I think from now on I will wait till the snow it a bit more melted (or park the car at the top of the hill). Kevin thinks we should pave, but I am voting for a four wheel drive vehicle:)
