On Thursday, we woke up to a beautiful day...
(there's no one we know in the photo above, I just thought the sky was so gorgeous that I needed to snap a pic)The kids had decided that they had had enough of lessons and they were ready to snowboard on their own.
So they got geared up...
And did a few runs in Totem Park...
Before heading over for the real deal...
They were so excited! They had the day planned, which included LOTS of snowboarding! Well... let's just say things didn't go as planned. It was the most painful thing I've ever seen, watching them try to snowboard down a green run. First of all... it took them FOREVER! I seriously could have crawled down the mountain faster than they came down on their snowboards. Clara gave up mid-run and just laid there in the snow, sobbing, hoping someone would just pick her up and carry her down. She was doing really well previously, but she totally lost her confidence and just didn't want to do it anymore... but mid-run was not the best time to decide this. She finally made her way down once she figured out that coming down on her own was her only option (unless she just wanted to spend the day up there). Needless to say, they were done after that run and we packed up and went back to the house... sigh.
