We went on a hike with a bunch of friends up Arctic Valley this week. The snow was surprisingly still there in the top bowl. I convinced some of my young women to slide down the snow with me on our coats, which drew the attention of the younger kids, and even the moms. It was a perfect hill, not too long, but steep enough to gain some speed and get some thrills off of. But at the bottom when the snow ended, all you had was brush to run into. Making for some pretty interesting crash landings!!! I took Meg & Kali individually down the hill on my lap. We gained WAY TOO MUCH SPEED and had the best crashes out there. No one got a picture of Meg's crash, but she flew off my lap and did a cartwheel in the air and landed on her feet. All the boys Meg likes to hang out with {8-10 yrs old} came rushing over and said "Meg are you ok!!!??? That was TOTALLY COOL!!" Meg's face went from freaked out/scared to proud/boastful. I guess all it takes is boys to change a girls attitude and outlook! :D The picture of Kali is above, and the outcome wasn't as climactic as her sisters. She came out of it with snow up her shirt, hands raw and cold, and freaked out cause her mom just steamrolled the heck out of her!!! {Multiple Times!} The pic looks like we could've broken something! Unfortunately no boys came rushing to her aid. It's times like these that make me think about teenage life for my two girls . . . Kali will be beautiful and probably have boyfriends . . . while Meg will be hilarious and only have boys as her friends. As long as they get along, I really don't care!!
