It's amazing we make it to adult's looking back...

Me and Mark were about that same age, we were crossing the creek behind our house on Letherstocking St. It was mid winter.we broke through the ice, We didn't get our feet wet but hit another layer of ice a few feet down. I still remember like it was yesterday crawling between the two layers of ice. It was so beautiful. I get chills now every time I think on it.

Wow! That's amazing and terrifying! There was a hole in the ice where we were ice skating once, and I drank a ton of it! Like easily an entire glass, if not more. It turned out it was from a frozen stagnant pond. My fever spiked the next day to over 104, and I think it got to 106 but I was out of it by that point! But yeah. Kids are so dumb!
