A day of Boarding

>All season the kids and Mike have wanted to try boarding. Con went last Tuesday with his school and loved it, so we decided to bite the bullet and let everyone try. We rented boards and boots the night before. Katie was so excited, she told me she probably wouldn't be able to sleep. She kept her boots on all night and kept trying out her board. This morning, a very nice guy Mike knew from work met us and gave Mike, Chase, and Katie a lesson on the basics. Everyone had wet gloves and bums, but smiles. Connor continued practicing what he had already learned and was doing very well. There were many falls, but they all said it was very fun. Mike said it was painful. Everyone picked it up pretty well. We may even have a couple who convert next year. Kenna and I just skied. I didn't do the photography job I intended to because I forgot to charge my battery and of course it was almost dead. I tried really hard to get a picture of everyone before it died. Check out what I did get.

You guys have SO much fun! I admire your ability to try something new and risk bodily injury. (Yes, I'm aware that saying that indicates advancing age.) Good times for you all! Kudos!

Looks like it was lots of fun. I always figured that if I ever did go up on the slopes again I would like to try boarding, but that probably isn't every going to happen. Nice photo montage. Fun times for the Wallaces!
