So I've decided I need to try new things. My newest adventure would be snowboarding. Levi and Crystal are amazing and took me up to Sundance this morning. Gina loaned me the gear and all the stuff I needed.
I'm not quite sure what I expected but that wasn't it. I'm not a coordinated person so getting the boots on was adventure and moving around on one foot was entertaining to watch. I successfully did get on the lift though and didn't even drop anything! The first run was humiliating. I can't even begin to describe how many times I fell on my rear-end. I would get going, lose my balance, and fall to much pain. The worst ones happened going down an icy patch where I landed right on my knees and cause much bruising and pain. Later in the run I somehow flipped forward and twisted rolling over my shoulder, landing on my back. That crash knocked my goggles and hat off. I'm glad I have good self-esteem or some of the things I did would have been horrible. Its one of those moments I want to see in Heaven. Yes, I believe we will be given the opportunity to go back and see moments in our lives. By the end I was able to hold my own and finally figured out which movements made me go back and forth. I ended my last run standing up and looking like a pro! I would have gone again had my body not been screaming at me. I can't wait to go again. Even though I will not be able to walk tomorrow and my rear-end is still numb--so much snow down my pants! Seriously, I have the best bruises!
Melmer! I am so jealous I want to learn! Good job not dying! And your nephew is adorable. heart.
ReplyDeleteHa ha that's awesome! You're a better snowboarder than me, I promise. I am not good at it at all. The last time I went was like 2004. I'm glad you tried it :)
ReplyDeleteAt least you had a good time!!! Before you know it you will be keepin' up with Crystal and Levi!
ReplyDeleteAfter working in the ER I have a hard time doing much extreme anymore. Thus snowboarding is out of the question at least on a mountain.
