home again

The week before last week my family and I got back from the mountains. I went to school that Thursday and had my my first day of gym which I can definitely say was an experience! Before that though we spent the four day weekend in Boone. On Saturday, the first day we got there we went to our hotel but couldn't go to our room 'till 4:00 so we got in my dad's soccer mom van and went to this plain feild of snow that we found while driving. We took out the skim board that we brought along and rode the snow covered hills and soaked our pants ,when falling off, from the snow. The next day we decided to go tubing down a mountain. As we were driving up to the mountain the temperature went all the way down to 4 degrees. Since it was so cold we bought ski masks that covered our whole faces except for our eyes.
The first time I went down I went with my butt sitting in the tube but after the second time when I tried goning on my stomach thats all I did for the rest of the time. I rode down about five times and probally would have gone down one more time if my toes hadn't froze. That night my brother and I went swimming in the hotel's indoor pool.

The next day we went sledding some more on our skim board and pretty much just drove around and looked at the sights.

On the last day we went ice skating! My brother did great for his first time and I did really good.........untill the end. I was skating when all of a sudden I fell flat on my face. I had a blach and yellow eye for about a week after that! At the end of the day though I climed a 40 ft. rock wall 3 times!!! What a weekend.....besides the accident that occured.
