March
1 Sunday the kids got to ski with their
4-H club. The kids got a pass to ski, snowboard, or tube, or all 3. The club paid for all but $10. The weather has been very cold lately, but today it got into the 30’s so it was a great day for it. Luke wanted to ski so bad too, so I let him go and I just watched. He did great and was completely independent. He would carry his skis out to the slopes, buckle them on, head up the rope tow, and ski until he got tired. I went out and watched now and then, but he was on his own. Jayden was on the bunny hill with him quite a bit as she stayed with cousin Jaynie and showed her how it was done. Late,r Jayden took to snow boarding. She did really well for her first few times down and her instructor was very impressed with her natural ability. However her tail bone hurt when the night was over. In fact in writing this at a later date, she was in pain the next day and several days after. Jake was all over the place. He didn’t know what to do first. He strapped on skis and got warmed up, decided to check his skis back in for the day to go tube. Then discovered Riley on skis, so he checked out skis again. Then everyone wanted to tube, so back he went to get his boots and on to tube. He spent more time running around than on the hill. At the tubing hill, he got a little scared of heights and it took him an hour before he finally went down on a tube. That hill is tall and those tubes fly down. 8:00 came pretty fast and the kids had to head home. The club had a good turn out and fun time.
