For most parents, to see their kids having fun is a delight. That’s why they would do everything just to make them happy. They would always think of fun activities that their children could try.

The parents of two adorable kids – Olivia Heid, 8, and RJ, 4 also wanted the same thing for their kids.

One afternoon, their mother Stephanie Irlbeck let them try a new activity. As it was new to the kids, they were probably excited to do it.

It is sledding.

The entire family looked for the perfect spot to do this fun activity. At first, they went to Holmdel Park. Unfortunately, it was closed. Afterward, Stephanie took to Facebook for sled hills recommendations. They ended up going to Beacon Hill Country Club.

The mom even shared why they used an inflatable sled.

According to Patch, it was her husband who chose what they were going to bring and use.

“We have two saucer sleds, but my husband insisted on bringing this big blow-up inner tube sled. We spent half an hour sitting in the car blowing that thing up.”

When they arrived, the place was too crowded and steep. They decided to find a smaller hill. The couple also noticed a pond to the right of the hill.

Little did they know, that pond would put their kids in danger.

As they started, the first run was fun and fine. When the two kids tried to sled again riding the inflatable, they hit a patch of ice which was near a tree. The siblings and their sled flew right into the pond.

The sled floated at first but it started sinking slowly carrying the two kids.

They were in danger and their situation was unimaginable.

Thankfully, five teens were in the same place at that exact moment. They were there to sled, too. It turns out they had another mission to do.

And that is to save the little kids whose lives were at stake.

These boys are Kieran Foley, 14, Joseph Dietrich, 14, Drew Scalice, 14, Ryan Day, 15, and Tyler Armagan, 14. They did not hesitate to help the children.

At that time, they were just throwing rocks into the pond. They were checking if the pond had frozen over. When they realized that there was something strange happening because of the screams they were hearing, they immediately check what it was.

As they saw the kids slowly sinking into the pond, one of them, Kieran unhesitatingly jumped into the pond to save them.

“I didn’t see anyone else be able to do anything, so I just jumped in. I was like, whatever. It wasn’t deep so I could walk right over to them. I picked them up and my friends formed a chain and we got the boy first, and handed him to my friends. Then I got the girl.”

Aside from saving them, all of them also tried their best to comfort the kids especially the boy who cried when he was back on land.

As for Stephanie, she said the reason why they weren’t able to go down immediately.

That’s why she was grateful for the teens who saved her kids.

“I couldn’t get down the hill fast enough. There were other families at the top of the hill and we were all screaming. What was amazing to me was to see the boys immediately know how to form a human chain. I don’t know how they knew to do that. The whole thing is incredible,” she said.

It’s incerdible how these teens did not hesitate to risk their lives just to save kids who needed their help during that moment. It’s just ulifting to know that there are people like them who would do such a big thing for other people.
