Xmas with the Thornes....
So with no family and being in Oregon.. what else is there to do on Xmas but go snowboarding.
Hil is still learning (and picking up very quickly with only having gone 3 times!) so we went to Hood (blah).
There wasnt much snow.. but it didnt matter considering she is just starting.... only 13 more years to go until we're even!
Pics behind
Teaching Amelia how to wax a snowboard... (cats really like snowboarding.. let me tell you....)
Hil got new boots, pants, jacket, and goggles (not shown.. those are MINE!) from santa... doesnt she look cute?!
Riding the lift!
Hil taking time to smell her pits.. ewwww!
And strapping in...
Getting up the nerve....
Trying to stand up....
Only three days of riding spread over two years and she can side slip down the whole mountain! (She can go straight and then stop on her heel edge.. she's just scared to go too fast... isn't she doing well?!?!)
Coach TJ. (note: she didn't take this after she fell..)
Me at the top of the mountain... with a cheesy smile...
That's all! We're going to Crystal next.... if we ever have enough money....
I really should have resized some of these pics... maybe next time....
