The Mountain

We went out one of the days we were visiting Grammy and Gramps in Kansas and found this rather large hill to slide down on. As snow sleds with kids go this was a pretty major hill. Both Missy and I realized after about a foot of climbing that our shoes were not intended for this- thank yous to those helpful bystanders that also pointed that out for us. We barely made it up- just well packed, slick slopes. Luckily my brother Joe was going up and down with the kids while we tried to get up. And then Missy and I went down in a sled together and it was awesome! Stark terror pressed into a small bit of time can be like that.



If there's one thing I learned it's that winter sports wouldn't be so popular without ski lifts.
