At least I tried....

This past weekend was an adventure....

Beth and I set out on Saturday morning for Big Bear to have a fun girly weekend....and to learn how to snowboard. We were so excited the drive up, but by the time we got there practically the whole day was sold out. So we resorted to doing the night lift on the mountain. We got all our gear and hiked to the lift in our big ole boots and locked one foot onto the board. Oh geez, as soon as I did that I started sliding...I knew then that I was in for a shock! So we made it onto the lift and headed up the mountain. We grew more and more nervous as we got closer to the top.....and here it was, time to get off. As I put my board onto the snow to get off the lift, I slid forward and went head first into the snow! Not a good first attempt! And then....I looked up and guess who was there....TIGGER was there to help me up! Pure comedy, let me tell you! So Tigger helped me up and I moved out of the way. It took TWO HOURS for Beth and I to get down the mountain!!! It was not as fun as I had hoped! Beth did great and picked it up pretty fast, but I was struggling! Just trying to stand up without the board sliding out from underneath me was the hardest part! Anyway, we cut the night short and I sold my lift ticket to someone else. I'm glad I tried it, but it was the first and last time I will snowboard. Next time I'm skiiing!! :)
