on thursday, we got all packed up for our final trip to the mountain. we heard there was still snow on the mountain, so we were all excited. should have checked the wind report. the whole mountain was closed down except for the bunny hill. i was so bugged, but then... a flash of genius. brooke can talk anyone into anything, so she hooked us up with free snowboard rentals for cameron and rowan. we were going to teach them next year, along with getting jonas on skiis, but figured, if we can get this out of the way now, it saves us some frustration and self loathing next season. seriously, teaching kids how to ski/snowboard sucks my will to live. but when its done, it is so worth it. our kids could follow us anywhere this season, it was so amazing, so hopefully by the end of next season, everyone will be back up to speed. at lunch time, rowan wasn't feeling good and passed out on the floor, so brooke's mom stayed with her while we finished the day. what a super lady. just super. both of them did so well, and cam even said, "i'm never going to ski again, i'm a snowboarder". as a skiier, it gives me mixed emotions, but still, just to have your kid be happy and proud of themself at the end of the day is amazing. also, parker dropped my phone in a snowbank, where it continues to happily reside, causing me a great amount of stress. i think i'm going to get a palm pixi to replace it, but wonder if that name makes me less of a man. actually, i kissed a boy when i was 7, so it doesn't really matter. he was my best friend, and he was black, so i learned to appreciate diversity at an early age. plus bullies were going to kick our butt if we didn't. carlos, if you're out there, call me.
