snow adventure! After returning home we had a buttload of beef for burritos and then Mike and I, being the men that we are, decided that we should have another snowball fight. Unfortunately, no one agreed, so we went back to our old reliable hill on some guy's property. Unfortunately, this was also a terrible idea because the fog comes in and night, reducing visibility effectively to 20 feet. Armed only with one flashlight and a walkie-talkie, we trusted our creation and decided that if something went wrong and we hit a tree, the fun outweighed the risk of death. I tried first with fairly disastrous results considering I was completely out of control, couldn't see more than 5 feet ahead of me, and hurt myself a few times falling off the sled from the shock. Mike and I went down a couple times, not really going all the way down for fear of having to walk all the way up the huge steep hill, but on the last run I had the scariest adventure of them all. I climbed basically to the very top of the hill and then decided I should go all the way down no matter what and just hold on as best I could, so I pulled in my feet and went flying down the deathtrap. I also found both the jumps on the way down and bruised my back even more, but I held on and kept going, snow splattering in my eyes until I saw a giant tree in front of me. Scared, and rightly so, I screamed and then hit. Mike waited a couple seconds after calling my name, and then I finally realized I wasn't dead and answered. "Yeah, I'm ok, I just hit the snow bank at the end! Your turn!" to which he answered, "I think I'm done." We were back in time for iron chef and then we watched Aliens. We freaked Heather out some more of course and played a little dance bop-it, however, we were fairly exhausted from the long day of dangerous, stupid activities so we gave up on that after a few tries. Mike and I had a good talk about life in general before going to sleep at the antipodes of the same bed.
