Sledding vs Sledding











It's funny how life changes.




Brad and I both watched as folks unloaded their snowmobiles up the mountain, tightened their helmets and rode off with loud braaappps looking for adventure.




We commented on how sled technology has changed since our riding days and stood looking at the hillside, mentally plotting a route up the slope.




Until the sound of the kids clamoring for their next turn pulled us back into the present and we slid down the hill until their cheeks were pink and toes frozen.




Sometimes a feel a twinge of longing for the old days. For the risk and adventure. Longing to slip on my harness and hang from a cliff. To feel the burn of adrenaline pumping in my chest. To push and then push some more.




But then I think this, this is the real adventure after all!
