skiing was fun.. being run over by a snowboarder was not

Had a great time, Tori and Katie were skiing the bunny slope by the end of the lesson, Next time we go (hopefully in Feb) they'll do 1/2 day classes and then ski the pm with us.  Drew did REALLY well!!! He was fearless, so much so that he scared the instructors. He had a great time, and was skiing down the "kid learner" run by the end of the lesson, he'll need a couple more all-day lessons before he's ready to ski with me and Pawpaw.

So, we dropped the kids off, Beth and Bill's GF M. had their stuff, so they took off together, Bill, Tim, Dad, and I collected our gear from the car, and Dad and I were ready for a soda.. so Tim and Bill went off.  We enjoyed our drink and watched the kids in the first 1/2 hour of their lesson. Then we did the bunny slope to make sure everything was settled and off we went. Had an interesting run.. it's a LONG run, Dad got a little altitude sick at the top.. which scared me, but the lower we got the better he felt. I fell twice, once I just lost my edge, the second one I got cut off by a snowboarder then a second boarder ran over my left hand. I should hear from the Dr. today about the Xrays.. it didn't look too bad at the time.. now it's crooked.. broken?? or dislocated??  I have it braced, hopefully it'll be easy to fix and heal quickly. After that run, Dad and I got lunch, met Bill, M, Tim and Beth, after eating we all agreed to meet at 3pm at the upper deck of the lodge.  Dad and I headed over to the kidzone to watch and photograph the kids. I got to ski behind Tori and Katie to take pictures.. it was cool!!! Got some good shots of Drew as well. I'll get the camera developed asap. And share.

I started classes on Friday, Art History and Origins and Liberalism.  I've had Art Hist. lecture twice, I meet the other class tomorrow. Art Hist. is going to be interesting!!! I'm the other one is too.

Ok, I'm off, time to take Bug to ballet.
