Sunday was snowboarding day!! We were on top on things and left the house by 7am. No lie! With the kids and everything. I packed their clothes and put them in the car in their PJs and robes. We picked up Sherri and headed on over to drop the kids at Becky's place. Traffic was light but gusty winds hit us on the 15. Yikes. We arrived at Mt. High east where Hector managed to score a primo parking spot in the second row in front of the lodge. He has awesome parking karma.
We got Sherri strapped in and she began to slide around, getting the feel of the snowboard before we got on the lift. The only snag is that her binding buckles would not cooperate and we could not get them undone. Sherri cut her thumb and we broke some nails. Hector took the board to look at it while she used mine for a bit. He sorta fixed it but they would act up so we just worked around it.
By the end of the day, Sherri was mastering her turns and coming down the hill with only a few falls. She was so excited that she wanted to keep going when I was ready to quit at 3:30pm. I had some hot chocolate because the winds were blowing and the sun was going down.
Overall, Sherri did really well for her very first time and we will try to find another day to go before the season ends.
