Snowboarding...again


I went snowbaosring again on Valentine's Day and on the 15th. This time it was just me, my sister, my mom, my uncle, and my aunt (who only went on Sat.). Since i had just been 2 weeks ago I was a lot better than last time. My sister snowboarded with me this time, too, last time she skied. I actaully got some air on Sat., there was a little jump and I landed it almost every time. My mom and i went ona few slopes together and she took me on a black diamond. I didn't fall at all on it. After the black diamond we went back to the top and went down a slope with big ramps for tricks, and i went up on the big ramps but fell at the top. This trip was very fun and I'm looking forward to snowboarding again next winter.

Snowboarding


I went snowboarding in PA last weekend asnd I had soooo much fun! We drove up on Thursday after school. My mom, my uncle, my aunt, my sister and I all went up to the mountain on Friday morning. My sister and I took lessons while the adults skiied some of the harder slopes. After our lesson we went up to the larger slopes. I was a little rusty the first day beacuse it had been a year since I had been snowboarding, but on Saturday I showed a lot of improvement. My uncle picked my cousins up and my cousin Johnny tried skiing on Saturday and his brother and my uncle went tubing. None of us thought that Johnny would do too good. My mom didn't think that he would have that much fun because of all the work involved. After his lesson he wanted to go straight to the big slope. My mom made him go down the bunny hill a few more times so that she could see how well he was doing. He did okay, he just needed to work on turning and stopping. My sister, my aunt, and my mom went back into the lodge and Johnny and I kept hitting the slopes. It was a lot of fun to watch him, he wasn't too good at stopping so if he needed to stop right away he just fell. There was a little hill down to the line of lift and Johnny kept running into people. When my sister was with Johnny he "accidentally" went straight through some trees and into a harder course and down a steep drop without falling. When I was following him down the mountain he started turning towards the trees and had to fall over to avoid crashing into them. It was really funny, and as I tried to get to him to help him up I slid on some ice and got inches from hitting a tree. On our last time down, I was between Johnny and another snowboarder just before the last . Both of them started to close in on me so I tried to slow down and ended up falling. As I fell the edge of my board caought the tip of Johnny's ski and made him fall too. He said he was just turning towards me but was going to turn back, I don't buy it since he can't turn to well.

The whole weekend was so fun. I think we're going back in 2 weeks! Yea!

Permit


I just got my driving permit last week. I passed the test on my first try but if I would have missed one more question I would have failed. My mom took me driving for the first time today. I was a little nervous at first, but once I got behind the wheel it just went away.
