Snowboarding

Jobie, Eric and I went to Soda Springs on Donner Summit for a fun day of snowboarding on Saturday.  I haven't been snowboarding since I went with Amber Fessler, then Amber McQuistion, in West Virginia when Joe was deployed to Afghanistan in 2007!  I wasn't sure how I would do... luckily, the snow was soft and I remembered how to carve.  Here I am looking nervous before my first trip down the bunny slope.

Eric was on the lift ahead of me, we are about the same skill level.

Jobie was on the lift behind me.  It was handy to have a skier with us, to tow us along when we got stuck in a flat spot.

Lindsay came over last week to finger paint with the girls.

They made a huge mess and I was glad Lins was there to help me clean up.

Grandpa took us to Chuck E Cheese on Sunday.  Allison fed Grandpa...

and Grandpa fed Jessica.

Jessica chased Chuck E around and Allison was a little scared of him.

Allison really enjoyed riding this pony for about 30 seconds.  Long enough for me to get a picture but not long enough for me to get a video.

Meema has mastered the double baby bounce technique.  They have to take turns a lot but, sometimes, it is just too hard to wait for your turn...

Jessica riding the pony at Chuck E Cheese, but telling me she's scared so I will get her down.

Here is a video of me and Eric snowboarding, Eric is in front.
