LJ Idol Week 10: Icarus

[scriblesnbraile]

My dad has a large hill beside his house. The first time it snowed while we were out there, my brother and I immediately saw it as the perfect sledding hill, except for one small problem. It dead-ended in some pretty thick woods. Of course, being around twelve and six, respectively, we didn’t at first see this as a problem. We’d just stop the sleds

I remember when skiing felt like flying. I lost the joy in it a long time ago, but it was wonderful when it lasted.

I haven't been skiing since the time I wrote about, but I would love to do it again some time.

Thanks for reading.

Very well done. Such adventures.

[scriblesnbraile]

That they were. *smiles* Thanks for reading.

I love sledding and am an excellent skater, but I've never been able to ski! Thanks for reminding me of so many snowy memories.

[scriblesnbraile]

You're welcome! Thanks for reading.

I skied for about five years in elementary school and junior high. Then, a good friend of mine broke her leg, and I was afraid to do it again. Sometimes, I want to try though. There's nothing quite like that speed.

I'd like to try skiing again some time, too. I haven't done it since the time I wrote about. You're right; there is nothing quite like that speed.

Thanks! And thanks for reading.
