We ventured to Vinton today to watch the Chipmunk movie...well after 17 minutes they were sold out. So with tears in Eli's eyes I quickly diverted him to going sledding. We had a choice of three hills: watertower, Braille school or the golf course. We started at the Braille school and we had a great time on a cute little three hill short stretch. After about 45 minutes Eli wanted the see the golf course hill. We drove around and then decided we would check out the old ice skating rink. Who knew...it was now a sledding hill. So we headed out and ventured up the hill. It had tires and a rope to help get you up the hill. At the top Eli went down first and he loved it. He said you do get snow in your face but it is awesome. Trip number 3 he convinces me to go down with him. He was the pilot and was the back seat driver. The first 1/3 of the hill was fine...the second 1/3 of the hill we were going backwards. I told Eli repeatedly, "Eli this was a bad idea". The final third I felt cold snow down the back of my jeans and a huge whack to the back of my head. Needless to say that was the end of our sledding. My jeans were soaked, my underpants were full of snow and my head was throbbing. Eli, I said, that was a bad idea. Eli's response was, "that was so cool".
Two motrin later and I am able to move. We will see how the morning treats me. Matt's going sledding next time.
