Lookout Below!

One cold evening, we all decided that we wanted to go sledding. We ran into Walmart to buy the last minute gear for this crazy excursion. We saw these really fun tubes. We pulled our money together, and bought them! We decided to go sledding at the hill, on Old Main. On the way over, Tess and I were trying to inflate these tubes as fast as we could.

Upon arrival, I saw this person being loaded into the ambulance. A few minutes later, I see a sign that reads... "The threat of serious injury is great, and those who insist on using Old Main Hill for sledding do so @ their own risk." We knew of the potential risks, but we still wanted to go sledding!!! We climbed our way to the top, chose the perfect spot, and wait until it was our turn. As the time came for us to go, we were a little nervous! We did not want to hit anyone as we sped down, nor run into a tree! We mustered up the courage to go and finally went. When we got to the bottom, we were rather disappointed at our tubes! We thought since they were new, we'd give them a few more tries. Sadly, we gave up on them! We ran to Tess's parents house, and picked up ol' reliable!

We rushed our way back to Old Main. As I was hiking my way up, I observed some of the other sleds. I saw sleds that were made of: material bolts covered in saran wrap, broken down boxes covered in saran wrap, square/round cookie sheets, pool flotations, etc. I thought it was rather interesting, yet very creative as to what these kids thought of. I made it to the top of the hill and thought... finally, lets go sledding!!! We had so much fun zipping down the hill. Sadly, the very next day... I was sore! I thought to myself... I'm getting old!!!

P.s. We returned the tubes to Walmart!!!
