I did get to venture out to do activities two days.  On Monday, I went snowboarding…okay, well, let’s just say I took a lesson.  The only way I could stop was to fall down so I stayed on the bunny slope and since I didn’t have any ski pants/or ski bib, my rear was numb for hours (I’m talking hours) afterwards.  Then Friday, the day before we left, I got to go skating and tubing.  That was fun!  I’d never skated outdoors. 

But that didn’t stop them from trying…

And falling…

Ace got really good before we left.  I was proud of how hard he tried.  He fell pretty hard a few times too but he got right back up and tried again.  Josiah was more interested in building a snow castle for a long while.  I was so glad we didn’t have to pay for him to skate!

 Let me just say that snow tubing is a blast and is really physically demanding.  My arms were sore for three days after we went.  But it was so worth it!
