Snowboarding!

This last weekend I went snowboarding for the first time with my family. My brother Joe had tried it a couple weeks ago and just loved it! So my dad decided to take us snowboarding at Copper Mountain and have us all try it out. It was me, my dad, Sarah, Joe, Jordan and Joe's friends that went. We started on a short green with all the ski school people. We were one of the first ones up so it was nice and fresh with a small layer of powder on our 1st run down. The 1st run was soooo funny! I laughed the whole way watching all of us slip and fall and try again. We all had our share of crashes landing on our tail bones, hips, wrists, shoulders, and backs. There's just something funny about falling that makes you laugh. :)

Well after the 1st run, my toes were FROZEN! I have never experienced pain like I did when I went to the lodge to let them defrost! It hurt sooooo bad! Sarah went with me and should've taken a picture of all the funny facial expressions I was making. It was horrible! So I stuck some hand warmers down my socks and went on with the day. I was fine after that if any of you were wondering. :)

The rest of the day was really good. We all got to the point where we could stay up and slow down on one side of the board but all had problems with the other side, if you know what I mean. Like for me, since I'm goofy foot, I was fine carving on the heal side, but toe side I just couldn't get down. And by the end of the day my legs were burning so bad that I couldn't get anywhere very fast. Definitely need to get into shape!

Overall, the day was really good, even with all the bumps and bruises. I had a lot of fun laughing and talking with my dad and siblings on the lifts. Maybe I'll try it again one of these days.
