I was asked to be on a panel yesterday for group of girls about to graduate from high school. I was kind of worried about it, because I really don't feel like I have a bunch of wisdom to share, especially when most of the questions were related to dating (really, NOT an expert in this area!) However, it was fun and the girls were all really cute.
After the panel, we were taken back to the parking lot on snowmobiles. I have only been on a snowmobile once in my entire life, and it was YEARS ago. When I asked where I was supposed to sit, the man told me that I needed to sit up front because I would be driving.
Seriously? What if I crash it? I asked. (I really thought he was kidding!)
He just laughed.
I started out really, really slow. He told me that I needed to go faster or else I would kill the snowmobile. Whoops! Within a few seconds I was feeling more comfortable, and then I realized that I was having fun. It was so exhilarating! It was only a five minute drive (which was good, considering the fact that I was not dressed warm enough for a snowmobile ride) but it was so much fun! Turns out I did not crash it, and I found that I would really enjoy snowmobiling as a sport. First skiing, now snowmobiling. Maybe winter sports could be my thing!
It was a really great way to end the week.

I think that's funny you had to do that. Way to go Katie-o. :) Snowmobiles are fun but I too am a wimp when it comes to those kind of things. I always get freaked out and then realize it is fun (and not as dangerous as I thought it would be- unless you have 2 tubes tied to the back of one snowmobile and you go over a HUGE jump and one said brother is being pulled on a tube behind the tube you are riding in and he gets bounced so high he lands on your head. NOT THAT I WOULD KNOW but that would not be fun Ü)
We had some snow mobiles when I was young and we had a lot of fun on them. I wish we still had them!
