All the kids were out sledding today and they were Defending Australia's Sledding honour. They were against the Americans/Kiwi's and some local Czech kids. Daniel was hot, dodging trees, avoiding the little kids and taking the drop to win all the races except one. As they took off down the hill, Matthew the "Enforcer" took out one kid and then another but it wasn't enough, Daniel was bumped by one of the Czechs. He went round one tree, dodged a pole and then bang straight into a tree. We ran down to see what had happened as he got up and started walking towards us. With blood everywhere and a quick trip to the Hospital, he was home with three stitches in his chin and a bit of a headache. But he is still 'KING OF THE HILL' after only two days of practice - note the echos of a proud Dad. Cya.

Alright, Daniel-dude! Can't imagine the fun that would be had to experience snow for the first time at your age.
I'm not from OZ, but it is a very cool thing to enjoy the day so thoroughly.
