We took the girls to a real sleddin' hill yesterday and each one of us managed to get hurt in under twenty minutes. I'm pretty sure that was a new world record. I went down one run, got down toward the bottom, caught the edge of the sled in the snow, performed a maneuver that would make Shaun White jealous, and then landed on my head for my big finish. After that, I decided being the photographer was a little safer.
The KoH did a great job sacrificing his body for the baby:
And thanks to the continuous shutter release mode on my camera, here's what it looked like when The Dormouse took her maiden voyage down the hill:
After this frame, imagine her running into you, because that's what happened.
So word to the wise... photographer... not always the safer job description either.

You may have gotten hurt but that last photo seems worth the effort. That is an amazing picture.

How can you get happier than that?

So glad to see those hats are getting a lot of use! Are they warm enough, though?

Great pictures! The girl looks really happy! Too bad the snow just annoyed me!

@Beth: Always sacrificing my body for the shot.
@Stewbert & Lucy: I seem to have birthed an adrenaline junkie. Hmm... wonder how that could have happened?
@paws: The hats are probably plenty warm enough. The problem lies in getting them to keep them on their heads instead of taking them off to look at all the time.
@Patricio: I'm completely annoyed by the snow, but that's just because it's paralyzed the school district and I'm convinced we won't have school until May.
