On Friday the 2nd day of 2009 we went snow boarding. Conditions were good, the wind was calm and the crowds were not bad. We took the Suburban on it's first ever ski trip. The snow boards and Julia's skis fit nicely inside. This was like driving in luxury compared to the past several years of squishing into the truck with the kiddie seat as a back seat.
Julia went with her new years theme...
"something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue" I helped her obtain this goal by leaving her skiing back pack in the house while we packed the Suburban for our first trip of the year. You might wonder what did this pack pack contain? Actually nothing much just her gloves, hat, goggles and all the stuff one likes to have to be skiing in 20 degree snow covered mountains. We were loaned a pair of goggles and went to the lost & found where we borrowed gloves and a hat. Arron wore my gloves, Julia wore Arron's gloves and I wore the glove shells from the lost and found and we were in business. Julia tested her new skis, knee and brace, I tried to keep up as she streaked down the mountain side.
I forgot the camera too so there are no photos of this first adventure, do believe this will not happen again. I will always bring her gloves, goggles, hat and camera from now on. Sorry, sorry to break in here, but I must interrupt to say that Julia forgot her gloves, goggles, and hat, and Julia will remember to bring them from now on. OK, Jim may continue...
Dinner at the Bull's Tooth Pub and Eatery was great as usual. Oh yeah, and get better, Moe! We missed Doe and Moe on the hill - just no one to chase.
