Sledding



It was a frigid winter day the grass was piled high with white sparkly snow and my friends and I were anxious to go out and enjoy it.





We wanted to live this winter day to the fullest. Have the best sledding adventure possible, but the only way to have such a sledding trip was to find the biggest mountain. we searched all of Livonia to find such a hill but when it wasn't found we decided to expand our search to different local cities then eventually throughout all of Michigan. We had finally came across huge hills in northern michigan which later, we found to be the sleeping bear dunes. This dunes were usually only occupied during the hot, swiltering summers but today instead of sand they were covered in snow and would be used for sledding instead of climbing.


We had the quickest sleds faster then any other kid and we couldnt wait to test them out. Taylor went first. She stood at the very top of the giant dune and looked out over the huge, iced over lake. she dived full force onto the sled and zipped straight down the hill. It was so fast she was like a blur to the rest of us watching and we couldnt wait to try it ourselves. So we climbed the mountain anxious to feel the cold wind slapping your face while speeding down the dune.


We went down over and over you couldnt get enough of this tremendous feeling it was like a rollercoaster. But we thought of a way that would make it even better. All of us went on two sleds piled ontop of eachother in a pyramid although the bottom girls were almost crushedand the top people wiped out it was still a blast. Many different ways to sled down the hill were being invented. The train, standing up and other crazy ideas that made our experience all the better.


Finally after a long fun day we were all exhausted. Gabe's mom arrived in a warm heated car and hot chocolate awaiting us. Although I would be sore and may have many bumps and bruises from this experience it was well worth it and I canyt wait to do it again.

  4. Oklahoma, you used a lot of detail which really helped out this Big Fish story. I wish you would have written about Harry Potter, because you are so knowledgeable in that field.

  5. Nice! Your adventure sounds really fun. I've never gone sledding before but I've heard that it's amazing. I can almost imagine the :roller coaster" feeling, the wind whipping trough my hair and snow, slush, and hail, whipping across my face. I can imagine to exhileration at the bottom. The big grin on a face from just ended laughter, and the faint stinging from on my face. It sounds exstrodinarily fun. Nice job writing!
