HEY! I did it. I went snowboarding. Well if thats what you call...it was more like butt boarding for the first couple of hours because I was trying so hard to get up I ended up sliding like 2 feet before my butt stopped me. Actually it was pretty sad because there were little kids going past me with no problem.
I did however eventually get up. I had to flip over then push myself up then turn around before I started going fast backwards. I could get about half way down before I fell over again. So that was basically the day...falling down and trying to get up. Now I am just sore and I trying to recover before we go again.
For those who are considering to take up this sports I have some advice for you. Firstly, when you fall (and you will because its inevitably) land on your forearm because your wrist will hate you later if you don't. Second, Practice stopping. Your muscles will remember it once your on the snow. Lastly, you will be sore (especially your quads) so have a nice hot bath once you get home.

Ps. Is that the coat that was at Jolyn's? Did you guys ever go get it?
Pps. I miss you guys! (And don't worry, I know there are lanes on both sides of the highway - sorry we haven't come up to see ya'll!) Becky changed the date of Kaiden's baptism to the 16th of February. I think we will be doing Jack's (1st) birthday party on Saturday the 9th. I'll let you know the details (don't worry, I know you can't come down 2 weekends in a row, I just thought you would like to be in the know). :P
Maria, I am glad to hear that you had some success with snowboarding. I mean, even butt boarding is better than no boarding right? A few more times and I am sure you will get the hang of it! Just have Jeremy give you a good massage, and I am sure you will keep up with the sport.
I'm sorry if you hate these tag things, but I tagged you. Check out my blog for details. :D
