Winter Olympics in Pullman

        Snow, sled, slope, and sounds of kids' laughing -- Pullman's Winter Olympics finally started!

     After a few nights' snowing, the white had piled up. The slope in front of my apartment became the best place for local Winter Olympics. 

     It was a beautiful day while a ray of sunlight passing through the window shone on me and woke me up! "Great! It's a sunny day!" I thought as I finally got myself out of my warm and cozy bed, walking into the living room, opening the curtains with my strengthless morning hands. What came into sight were many kids, with their colorful winter coats, heavy winter boots, and mom-asks-me-to-wear　winter gloves, lining up near my balcony, where happened to be at the top of the slop. They queued up excitedly for taking turns to enjoy the exciting moment of sledding down the slope. 

     It's a long slope that was covered by thick, white, and clean snow with few trees. During summer time, it's an ideal place for outdoor BBQ, picnic, or concert. Some people like to sit under the shades of trees to read or take a nap. When winter comes, it's the most popular place for kids in this neighborhood as the playground is covered with snow, and no one can be seen in the basketball court. Parents know where to find their kids. 

     "Ah~~~" 
     "Ha, Ha, Ha!"
     "Hee, Hee, Hee!"

      A kid just sledded down with a happy hail, which excited other kids in line. Many kids held their plastic sleds as if Harry Potter with his Nimbus Two Thousand, waiting for the moment of joy combined with speed, chill, and sunshine. 

     "Hee, Hee, Hee!"
     "Ha, Ha, Ha!"
     "Ah~~~" 

     Sunlight bit their cheeks; cold air beat their faces; clothes fluttered; screams erupted. Laughing, screaming, talking, and yelling! That's the beginning of Pullman's Winter Olympics!
