WooHoo! Snow Boarding

Friday we went out to "the slopes" with the homeschooling group to go skiing and snow boarding.  DH took the day off and we had a family day.  Joe Bug and Belle both decided they wanted to give snow boarding a try.  DH did a little skiing.  Doodles and I stayed in the lodge and read and visited with some of the other homeschoolers.  It was a little crowded.  There were 3 bus load of ps kids there, but soon they left and things weren't so chaotic.  The "lodge" wasn't very homey like you see in the movies.  It was more like a bunch of tables and chairs everywhere and people's ski stuff thrown all over.  (I pictured a nice big open area with big comfy couches and a roaring fire place, where I would sit back, read, and enjoy some hot chocolate.)

Here's some video of Joe Bug trying it out:
 

And here's a video of Belle trying it out:




This was their first time trying snowboarding.  I think they both did great.  I was thrilled that Belle not only tried, but even went on the ski lift!  (something I won't dare do)  Belle got assistance from our friend, K.  K was so patient and kind.  She went up on the lift with Belle and stayed with her all the way down.  Belle started crying, and K told her it would be okay and not to cry.  K is another homeschool mom and a wonderful and kind lady!  Thank you K for your help!

Joe Bug thought he'd be Shaun White already-lol!  Needless to say, he's not.  LOL...and both have sore muscles from the whole adventure.

We had a great time and decided to try it again soon!

Blessings until next time!
