In Tucson, we have Rodeo Break, a Thursday and Friday in February off of school. We went to Utah, Brighton Ski Resort to learn to snowboard! Well, me, Abby and cousin Trent. Everyone else who went already were "professionals". Thursday night we went for it, trying to learn on our own. We did pretty good. Abby can control really good and makes her way zig zagging back and forth. Trent likes to go fast and use his rump for brakes. :)
On Friday Trent and Abby had a real instructor teach them. They improved more, but both think they might want to try skiing also. 
Thursday night Mark had borrowed my cousin Aaron's snowboard and kinda had a bad fall knocking himself out. He felt better the next day and decided to rent his own. He did much better except for a small incident with a tree branch. :)
I liked snowboarding OK. I just kept thinking I could be staying up with everyone else if I was on skies. It was a fun trip and I loved getting to take Abby. Next year Austin will have to go!
Mark got knocked out?! For real?! Helmets are a must in our family we seem to like to fall down every so often. Sheri has had too many head injuries in her life time. Tryin' to save the kids that headache:) While livin' up north (California) near Lake Tahoe, we skied several times a week, we were thankful for the experience and miss it tons. You all look like professionals!
ReplyDeleteI love this Snowboarding family. They are too good.
