Grandpa George

The Amazing Sled Ride!

I cannot get over the amount of snow we have had in the past few weeks! 

It has reminded me of growing up in the mid west. 

 My brother and my sisters and I would spend hours outside building forts, sledding, and building snowmen.

We had a very large sledding hill on our property.  We would climb up to the top and sled all the way down crashing, bumping, and rolling.  If you were real lucky you were the one that went the farthest!

One day we were at the bottom of the hill and heard a voice yell from the top of the hill

 "Look Out Below"!. 

 We all turned to look to see who it was...... and there on a bright red flying saucer was my

 Grandpa George!

 Flying through the air like a bird.  You could hear him laughing with great joy!  

We all stood watching him spin through the air.....Our Hero!!

Our Grandmother however stood in horror!

Grandpa made it all the way to the bottom of the hill and we screamed for Joy!

Little did he know ...he taught us a lesson that day.  Your never to old to bring out that child in you!  What a gift he gave us that day.  I am sure that is the reason I truly love winter.

I am off to go sledding!

Enjoy the Season Everyone!

Go be a KID!
