We had recently gotten a little bit of snow and I really wanted to go sledding. I asked my friend Gloria if she wanted to come sledding and bring Jimmy, her foreign exchange student from Mexico. She thought it was a great idea. Jimmy had never been sledding before. We planned for about 1:00. The only problem was at 12:30 it was RAINING!!! I could tell it was trying to turn into snow. So we decided to wait and see what the sky would bring. It soon started snowing big white fluffy flakes. We decided to make a go for it. At about 7:30 Gloria, her husband Conor, Jimmy and I stood at the top of the bluff...looking down over a big field of white. Jimmy jumped on a sled and took off. We all laughed...he had no idea what he was doing and he wiped out about halfway down the hill. We all took our turns. I haven't laughed that hard in a long time. After about 5 runs down the hill we were all beat. (It's a big hill to climb back up once you are at the bottom.) We decided to call it a night. We all escaped without much injury. There will probably be a few bumps and bruises tomorrow, but it's all worth it.
