Holding my kids for the first time - is also up there with finding out my wife was pregnant. Probably has something to do with carrying on the genes.
Rescuing a learner kayaker who had tipped over and could not get upright. It was on a school camp and at the same camp I also pulled a girl out of the creek before she went over a small waterfall.
