Snow ftw It's a Memory Maker

I just moved to Wisconsin and I was excited for the snow to come. I am a fan of snow and in Maryland the past couple of winters really sucked. Well, Sunday it snowed pretty good and we got a good snow layer on the ground. Well I hadn't slept that night so I missed out on doing anything that day, because I had to sleep sometime. The next day, Monday, my older brother and I put on our semi snow clothes (most of mine are still packed in boxes) and ventured outside. 

We have those round bowl shaped things to go sledding in. Lemme see if I can find a picture... something kinda like this:

Now the house is set atop a hill and in the back it is somewhat steep. Still we didn't really know how fast it was going to go. I mean it wasn't like 100 moh or anything, but it was still quite fast and unexpected. My brother went first with some unmanly screams lol. I was laughing quite loud especially when he ended his run by going into a stup before a tree and the bottom and flipping over on his stomach. He didn't get hurt or anything, it just looked hilarious. I however was not so lucky. I started before i was really ready, but didnt have much of a choice when i started going down. It was fast and fun and I yelled once or twice. I spinned around and by the time I was facing front again I was almost at the tree and going way too fast. Next thing I know I am completely upside down up against the tree. I layed there agasint the tree upside thinking wow that hurt. I rolled over laughed and yelled up "That hurt!" lol I always get hurt in funny ways or at least I can find the humour in them. Though I did wake up this morning to bruises and feeling like a little beat up : )

I'm always the one that has the worst wipe out while sledding. I remember in Maryland, on Ft.Meade they had this hill where people would go sledding. I don't think they have done it in several years. I always supposed it to be the lack of a good snow. Anyways my dad bought these car innertube things and blew them up. Let me tell you those things are good. They get all slick from the wetness of the snow and take you down a good hill at a good amount of speed. We had been using those and my dad my chatting with another family and they asked if we wanted to try their things (they were the sled disc things like in the picture above). We said sure cause we had never used them before.

In the middle of going down this hill there was this bump they had made. Everyone tried to aim so that they would hit the bump on the way down. No one every seemed to make it. I had given up trying to hit it. It just so happened when I grabbed the sled disc they let us borrow and went down the hill at a high speed, I happened to go in the direct path of the bump. I hit that bump and went flying. The next thing I know I coming down on my head. I situp after I had figured out what direction I was facing lol. There was this guy that came over and had this disbelieving look on the face. Kinda like a smile and wow all the same time. He had his hand near his mouth, as if when he had saw me hit the bump and fly and land on my head he had reacted by gasping and drawing his hand over his mouth. He asked me if I was okay and when I responded positively and started to laugh a little he did too. 

Well when It snows a little more I will go out again and wipe out more and have more memories.
