snowboarding lessons for the boys

We all went to Mountain High last week (Holden got to skip school) and the boys took snowboarding lessons. Billy hasn't been in over ten years so he took a little refresher course he also hasn't used those muscles in over ten years and was worn out before lunch to which of course I made fun and called him an old man. I didn't get any pictures of Billy because he was up too high on the mountain for me to walk/waddle to. This was the first time Holden has even tried snowboarding and did so well and he loved it. I was so surprised how well he did, after class when I picked him up his instructor said he was great and such a good sport he never complained or cried not even saying it was too cold, when he fell he got right back up and kept going, which isn't typical for Holden so I was very happy to hear, he tried something new without being afraid I was so proud of him and no bribery required.

now that he is a "pro" he gets to spend his day off of school with his dad and uncles and cousins snowboarding next week, I think I'm going to relax in the lodge and read a book while sipping hot chocolate.
