Headin out sleddin

[snagged in outlet 3]

I'm taking my 8 year old daughter out to the best rated sled riding hill in the St. Louis Metro area. If you don't hear back from me it because I'm probably in the hospital with a broken something or another. IT's rated 4 out of 5 stars. I'm in trouble and I'm scared.

Daddy? Daddy? Are you ok, daddy?

Honey, daddy is ok, i just need to lay here just a minute.

Daddy, whats that sticking out of you arm?

Oh, I think that may be a stick...Oh my gosh, honey, we need to go.

At the hospital ER:

Mr. SIO3, exactly how did you break your arm?

The last thing I remember, we were just about to the bottom of the hill...and that is all I remember.

Your daughter stated that you looked like a rag doll rolling down the hill.

Do you remember that?

What?

I'm back.

200 feet, 40 degree incline of ice covered hill. Day with the daughter, PRICELESS.

I mean that was one great hill. It's called Bum's Hollow in Blanchette Park. It's a 3 sided bowl and it's fast right now. 26 degrees today and once the new fallen snow got blown off it was ice and it was FAST!!!!!!!!!!

Daddy that was the best day of my 8 year old life.

Moma went cripple on the first run when she hit an unexpected bump and bruised her tail bone. I walked up that hill 40 times. It was awesome. A real gut-check when you crest the top of the hill.

Heard the famous saying "watch this" several times. Some dads just don't know they're not teenagers anymore. I recommend the inner tube, much easier on the old bones.

Have you tried the hill called the "manmaker" over on the north side of St Louis. I believe the park is called "Sioux Passage"? It is a killer for cross country runners.

No I haven't but I have heard of Sioux Passage Park. Some hills are closed that we used to go. You know, liability issues and all that.

Art Hill in Forest Park is big but the slope isn't that great. There is a hill in Forest Park we used to call Suicide but I heard they don't let you sled on it anymore.

This hill was awesome.
