I almost forgot to add in Joseph and his Thanksgiving contribution to my blog. While at Robbie's before our dinner, we were able to witness the cleaning of geese and duck. Hmmmm. They had gone hunting that morning and wanted to have a variety of meat for dinner.
Sad! Don't worry dad, I am getting better with this kind of stuff. --------------------------------------------------------------
November 27...Happy Birthday Rach!
Happy Birthday dear Rachael, happy birthday to you!!!!! YEAH!!!
Fun Fetti Cake........yummmmmm!
Getting ready to go out for Rach's birthday, and of course we had to do a funny pose......--------------------------------------------------------------------
Now, what you've all been waiting for.....Jenny on Ski's.
YIKES!!
Me, Travis, and Megan headed across the pass into Idaho to ski Targhee. Our mountain wasn't open yet and we were anxious to try out the ski's.
Megan and I before disaster struck! She had no idea what she was getting in to.After a couple of embarrasing runs on the kids slope, I managed to get up enough courage to ride the lift up to a couple of greens. Man those are steep!
Recorded Fall 1......
As if it wasn't bad enough that I fell getting of the ski lift, once I got up I couldn't stop myself after going around the turn to the runs. Thank goodness for the huge mound of snow that I apparently couldn't miss, it stopped me.
Recorded Fall 2........
I almost made it to Travis. Had I picked up more speed, I could have just slid right to him.
So it turns out that turning over is a lot harder then you think. Here Travis is telling me how to get up....I mean this is me posing for the local ski magazine under the article "Top 10 Best Skiers"Almost Recorded Fall 3....
Travis, Jen, Megan, and I attempting to pose for a picture.
Recorded Fall 3.....
After the group picture I slid backwards into sleds that help get people off the mountain in emergencies. Somehow I managed to slide right in between them and got stuck. I couldn't get out, Jen had to pull my ski's out for me. Didn't know I had such good skills did you!? I must have fallen 20 times up there. It was a really fun day though and thank goodness I had Megan. She has to be the most understanding and patient person in the world. Not to worry though, I WILL be the BEST skier EVER before I leave! I just know it! Love you guys and miss you!

um, Jenny - while I appreciate your kind words about me, i just needed to make one correction - you actually did fall your first time getting off the lift - and then fell into that mound of snow..just had to clarify :) SO proud of you regardless and let me know when you're ready to snow plow again!
