Snowboarding Adventure!

On Tuesday I went snowboarding for my first time with Lauren and Lauren. We had SO much fun! Lauren F. had been once before, but me and Lauren A. were pathetic beginners! My first time down the mountain I was not sure what I had gotten myself into! I fell into a giant pile of snow getting off the ski lift, and never went long enough to gain the speed I'd need to make it up the hills that were on the way down! The Laurens were ahead of me trying to get Lauren A going, and I was far behind trying to figure out how to get UPhill! I ended up CRAWLING to them! While I was doing this, a boy stopped in front of them and asked if it was their first time down the mountain, then road away laughing! So HUMILIATING! However, after my second time down I had the feel for it and was able to make it down the hill (and up the uphill parts) without even falling! Lauren A never really caught on thought :) We were always waiting for her at the bottom and were ready to get back on the lift before she was even in sight! Though I proved to be pretty natural at snowboarding, I never exactly caught on to the whole Ski Lift thing. One time Lauren and Lauren ended up getting on without me because I didn't make it on time and they couldn't stop. The next time I refused to ride alone again, but got a little ahead of myself and got stuck in front of them with this "Hippie" couple! I still had a lot of fun though! On the way home, we got pulled over, apparently we missed the sign where the speed limit changed from 40 to 50. Luckily, the cop left Lauren's mom with a verbal warning and we were on our way back home!

Sounds like fun. Better you than me. I HATE snow. . .I don't even want to spend time playing in it. I would just prefer to avoid it all together. Maybe next winter you can go to Brianhead.
