Snow Day!!

I took Trinks and S sledding on the hill at Christiana Meadows. It seems like a rare hill for DE and I've always wanted to try it. Trinks ran straight up the hill, plopped the sled down and started down without looking. About 2 seconds after I snapped this picture, she went over the storm drain and fell into the rocky, icy water. As she was screaming her head off, I was creating dramatic rescue possibilities in my head - shove her on the sled and pull her to the car or pick her up and run? And what to do about S? By the time she could talk, she mentioned she wasn't done sledding and just needed to move to the left a bit. She's pretty tough usually, but this impressed me. She was soaked from ankle to hip, but still did the hill about 7 more times, went home to eat, and made it through ballet class.



This is a posed picture of one of the few times S made it onto the sled. He liked the tiny hill. Anything bigger terrified him, especially after seeing his sister fall.
