Snow Monsters

Logan Utah has some of the best sledding around at Old Main Hill on USU's campus. The LG got his first taste of how exhilarating the rush of wind, speed and snow in your face can be while heading toward the unforgiving cement of the street at the bottom of the hill. There used to be hay bales and large "AT YOUR OWN RISK" signs, but I hear that the hay bales caused more problems than the street, and so now you are free to sled all the way to Main Street if you like (this will only make sense if you have been there). The occasion was his cousin's 4th birthday. His cousin is a daring 4 year old who didn't care if he made it down the hill backward, forward or on his rear end, so long as there was a lot of speed involved, and an overly dramatic crash at the end. The crash was critical. Even if the sled stopped before there was an accident, he was sure to roll out with as much bravado as possible, while rolling around in the snow with a big smile on his face. Much against his parents protests, he also liked to sit on his knees facing backward, which only once resulted in him running into a tree - again with a big smile on his face.
