We took snowboarding lessons yesterday. It was an all-day lesson which included lunch! It wasn’t just any ski-lunch, it was a buffet with plenty of salads, pasta and a roast beef carving station. Definitely the best ski-lunch I’ve ever had. Usually it’s just chili or a hamburger, something quick. Back to the snowboarding. We debated whether we wanted to ski or board. Most everyone else we know made the switch years ago. We held off this long, but now that Brandon may be on the slopes in the next year or so, Dave doesn’t want to worry about lugging around skis, poles, and wear uncomfortable boots. So we signed up for the lessons. We were debating which level we were best suited; it was between once or twice or green runners. Once or twice was just that, but we were figuring since we had been before, had been comfortable with the slopes, chairlift, etc, and the fact that the girl signing us up encouraged us, we did the green runners. But when we were with the instructors, they told us the green runners could comfortably make toe and heel turns. Hmm…I think we were misplaced. There were only 3 of us, which made it nice. The instructor just wanted us to take a run and see what would happen and if needed, send us to the right class. So we went up, got off the lift, strapped in and he told us to do whatever we would do if he weren’t there. So I fell. And fell again. Then managed to get up, and slowly made my way down the hill. At the bottom, he said it would probably be best if we started with the once or twice class, to feel more comfortable. I haven’t been in ski (or any kind of) school in almost 30 years! So it was strange to be in a class. I didn’t want to hold back the other kid that was in our group; it turned out that he was better suited to the class above the green runners anyways. So after a little more shuffling, we ended up three of us with Dolors. She explained things really well and made the day great! I went from falling and not knowing how to get down the hill, to actually making WIDE turns and finally feeling comfortable on my toes by the end of the day. I took a few hard falls; good thing I was wearing my helmet, but I enjoyed myself. I was only wearing 2 layers and my jacket! That’s less than when we go to Tahoe. I’m not sure if it was because the weather was just so nice, it was in the 40’s, or if I was just working so hard getting myself upright on the board (most likely the latter). I had such a good workout! I really did learn more in the first few runs that I had the entire first day that Dave and I tried to teach ourselves.
Today, my body is revolting. I’m so sore, I couldn’t even sleep last night. This is what I remember from the first time we went boarding. My arms, abs, everything go a workout! It’s amazing.

We checked in with my mom last night after we got back from dinner around 930pm our time, 830pm at home. Brandon was already sleeping because he was so worn out from the days’ events. They went to a farm somewhere close to Auburn. The lady at the farm asked Brandon if he wanted to go on a horse. He was with my mom, then jumped into her arms when she asked him. He was up on a 40-year old horse, so it didn’t move real fast. He was scared at first, then got more comfortable. He then saw another, younger horse, and wanted to ride that one. The lady made him stay either with my mom or herself because that horse was not safe to ride. My mom didn’t take a picture of him on the horse! I would have loved to see it. He also found a pile of sand and started throwing it around. Then she said he climbed up the pile and slid down. Too funny. I was telling my mom I didn’t want him touching any of the animals, just paranoid about all the diseases he could contract from them, bird flu and whatnot. My mom did wash his hands as soon as they got back to the car. While I didn’t get to talk with him yesterday, at least he had a good time and was pooped.
