The Pool

It was mid January and we were into the new year. Resolution lists were starting at full force. On the top of my list was to do things unforgettable, this was certainly in that category. 

My best friend Renata and I deiced it would be a good day to go sledding because the night before it had snowed 5 niches. Our only problem was my brother had broken our sled last year. We had many idea's on what to use as a replacement, we even thought of garbage bags. In the end we decided to use my old kiddy pool we now used to bath my dog in. We soaked the whole bottom in olive oil hoping we would slide down better. This was probably the worst decision we could have made. Not only does olive oil freeze, it freezes very suddenly and sticks to the snow. 

We took the pool out to the biggest hill by my house, pilled on and when down. We started to go extremely fast. Too fast to stop. Then it happened. The olive oil froze us right to the snow and we both flew face first out of the pool and straight into the snow. We bursted out laughing, we couldn't believe what had happened and how much fun it was. It felt like a sling shot would just shoot you forward into the powderer snow. 

After this we separated the bottom of the pool from the snow, drenched it in olive oil and went down again. Sure enough we flung out 3 feet in the air. We had never laughed so hard and had such a good time. To this day every year me and Renata go out to the same hill, with the same pool and olive oil and go sledding.
