It was perfect - the temperature was a balmy 32 degree, the hill was covered with perfectly packed snow and the boys were THRILLED!
I am typically a side-liner. You know the type..."no, no - go ahead. I'll just watch you sled!" But not this time! Nope, I took on the hill. And I have to say, the first time down, as my heart flew out of my body, the sled and hill had full control, and the fear, fast and furiously, crept in I wondered, "Why in the Hell did I think this would be joy-inducing?"
But as I got the end of the hill - My face broke into a huge smile and I felt a big ol' "WooHooie!" erupt from my insides.
Back up the hill for another Joy-inducing (and the occasional tear-inducing) plunge! |
Their smiles could not be contained!
