So then Laura posted this photo. This was Iris's first run, just before the photos above. I can picture the excitement and delight on her face as she climbs trustingly onto the lap of her parent and they begin the descent. And then, in a horrifying flash, blinding speed, and this blinding baptism of snow--the full, in-your-face initiation to the joys of sledding. I have to wonder what Iris's expression is under that stinging plume of snow. But it's probably better that I can't see it--it would break my heart.
And it happened in a place called Rocket Park.
No wonder she was crying. But then, bless the child, she stopped crying and went down the hill again.
Keep riding that rocket, sweet girl.
One can see why she was upset, at first.
