~Throwdown Colors and A Sled~

Boy oh boy, is this boy having fun! ;)

I needed a quick card and this did it for me. ;)

The silhouette is multicolored, because I die cut him out of an instant Cider box.

Aren't these colors AWESOME???

I think they coordinate well with Color Throwdown #171

don't you?

Stoooooory tiiiiiiime....

The first time I ever went sledding, I was a young woman.

Since I was born and raised in Hawaii...I DIDN'T HAVE A CLUE how to sled.

I thought you just hopped on, held on and laughed the whole way down.

That's how they do it in the movies!!!

Apparently it takes some form of skill.

My husband (fiancee at the time) and I doubled up for a "trial run" back in '89.

Boy was that fun!

I screamed, I laughed, I had a BLAST.

There was a sharp turn at the end of a huge hill, which seemed so easy when HE did the steering-and frankly, I barely remember it.

I believe it was important.

I DO remember him being all serious when he asked, "Are you ready to do this ALONE?"

"SURE!" I enthusiastically shouted, "Why NOT!!!?".

Long story short....I didn't LEAN IN heavy enough when I went solo.

He still pokes fun at me TO THIS DAY....mimicking my quivering voice that drifted from the bottom of the hill.

 "D-a-a-n"

"D-a-a-a-an"

"Daaa----aaaaaan"

Story goes he had to EXTRACT me from deep within a thorny bush...

  place me on a sled 

and drag me back to his parents' house.

I pouted the whole way home. 

whatever
