Today, my neighbors taught me how to sled down the snowy hill like a pro. They told me last night about their plan and I could barely sleep – with all the excitement.

This morning, me and my three neighbors headed over to the snowy hill across the park. Covered with glistening white snow, it is majestic view of a snowy hill in the morning sun. More than a 100 yards of slope, waiting to be exploited. Below freezing temperature did not affect our enthusiasm, or the plan.

Many little kids were already sledding down the hill, in all kinds of creative ways. I saw a young boy standing on a fast paced sled, hands free and looking backward, go down the hill. Another little girl using a small round plate that looks like a flying saucer, was flying down the slope in style, her feet firmly planted inside the fast moving fancy looking alien object.

“You cannot back down now!” Ravi said to everybody.
“This is gonna be so much fun!” Mel, his girl friend giggled
“Lets go!!” Shouted Steve.

And then, they pulled out the inflatable round floaty slides from the back of their truck. Honestly, I was expecting something a bit more umm…grown-up. Even though the warning label on the colorful plastic floaties read, ‘ Most suitable for the kids under the age of 12’, that did not deter anyone from the ..umm.. misadventure.

We walked over to the hill top. Everybody securely sat inside the ‘made for little kids’ sliding thingies, and gave it a go. As the round floaties were flying down, well slowly. All the kids nearby stopped from for a second; they looked surprised and amused, but cheered loudly anyway.

Just so you know, these neighbors range from 24 to 36 years, not months, in age.

I love my neighbors! :)
