Guest guest Posted January 2, 2001 Report Share Posted January 2, 2001 LOL, Jackie........I had a similar experience last week! I have two daughters, 11.5 and 8, and then Jimmy (DS - 9.5) - my dear hubby and I took them all sledding last week to a HUGE hill with a HUGE benefit - it's totally out in the open, nothing to hit...... In any event, we took Jimmy down from the top with us on a 2-person sled several times. His 8 year old sister Hannah was sailing down on a saucer-type thing. Then we got daring and let Jimmy slide down by himself from about halfway down the hill on the 2 person sled. When he got to the bottom of the hill, he was laughing so hard! Then he watched Hannah come down on the saucer.......when she got to the bottom, he said " MOM! I want to ride THAT sled! From the TOP! " Well, I held my heart in my throat and let him do it..........he had a blast! He's gone out sledding every day since........ (this is my kid that normally wants to spend 12 hours a day on the computer.......) Woooo hoooooo! Life is good! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 2, 2001 Report Share Posted January 2, 2001 We went sledding yesterday also. was the trooper. He just didn't want to quit. I like you worried about him going down alone so his Dad went down after him to make sure he got out of the way at the bottom and helped him when he wiped out and flipped once.I think he did pretty good but will need guidence this year. Comes back up the hill no problem. Poor Dad had a great time till later when the aches started. I think with the snow coming like it is its going to be a sledding winter. We have some plans to make igloos next week with friends. will love that. --- jbocci55@... wrote: > I have to share with you guys the joy I had > yesterday watching use his > new snowboard while sledding.
