On Saturday February 6, 2010 Me (A.G.), Sammy, Dad, Noah, and Ruby had an adventure in the snow. First we built a snow fort. Well. . . not exactly a snow "fort" but it was three tunnels connected. After that we went sledding! I loved every time I went down but my favorite run was after Sammy and Noah went inside and me, Dad and Ruby piled onto the sled, then we tore down the hill. As we hit a jump/dip Ruby and I were sent flying! As we looked back, Dad held up half of the sled, as we looked down we realized that we were sitting on the other half. Our sled had BROKEN in half! Then Dad decided to go inside.
After that, Ruby and I were tromping around in the snow when my snow boot got stuck. I yanked and yanked and finally I pulled my foot out. But the boot was still stuck!!! Our neighbors were shoveling their driveway right across the street. So Anna Grace (me) with one shoe off and one shoe on and her sister Ruby went stomping to the bottom of the driveway. "Are you having fun?" asked our neighbors. "Yes, but. . ." Then I realized my other boot was stuck!! We happened to be standing on a huge pile of snow. While trying to pull out my boot I flipped upside-down, so I was hanging by one foot. As Ruby ran up the driveway to get help I was yelling "help!!!" but the neighbors didn't hear me! I managed to sit up and pull my foot and get my boot out. Then I walked over and tried to pull out my other boot, but I couldn't. Then Dad came outside and dug my other boot out and we walked inside. Then I put on warm socks and slippers and sat by the fire!
THE END

What an adventure Anna Grace! As you were telling the story I felt like I was right there with you and Ruby. I can't believe that your sled broke. That must have been quite a jump. I can just imagine your face when you realized that the sled had split into two pieces and your dad was on the other end! In the second story I was glad that you weren't hurt. It reminded me of when I was in Africa this summer and got my shoe stuck in a deep mud pile. It couldn't get it out and it made me fall forward face first into the mud. Hope to see you soon! Love, Ms. B.
