Sledding

When it comes to sledding, there are many rules to live by; most of them learned through painful experience.  Some of mine are:  make sure you are going fast enough to clear the little stream at the bottom or bail off before you get there (sledding in soggy snow clothes isn't fun) and, try not to land on your wrist while attempting a 360 or don't attempt one at all (broken wrists hurt a lot) and, when you tube down the very steep side of a reservoir, be prepared to sit on a doughnut pillow because going from mach 5 and coming to an abrupt stop as you hit the ice at the bottom can never be good and, well, I could go on and on.

Anyway, both Natalia and Alejandro learned valuable lessons today while sledding.  Natalia learned to quickly get out of the way after she got taken out and Alejandro learned to watch for that bare spot in hill.
