heart starts to sink to the bottom of my stomach. After a couple of minutes, I started to trust him behind the wheel. He did better than I expected. I thought it was going to feel like a valley fair or a six flags roller coaster. As we gradually get close to home my heart adjusts itself back into the correct position. I was very surprised how good he drove in the snow for his first couple of times. Were about five to fifteen minutes away from home and my brother start to speed and we arrive…

I am not sure if it was the hammer I got to use during the game, the joy of smacking the mole as it popped out of the board, or the adrenaline rush as the game sped up.
