5th Grade Ski Day

On Friday Ry's class had the opportunity to go to Snow Basin for ski or snowboarding lessons. They had a blast! Ry, of course, wanted to snowboard. He took to it like a fish to water. After the two hour lesson they were allowed to have 2 hours of free time.... That's when it got scary :)

Ry started at the level one class...


But quickly moved to the level 3 class!



On the last run of the day, Ry and Sami crashed into each other.... Luckily he was wearing sun glasses when the tip of Sami's ski went right into his eye. I'd much rather have broken glasses then lost eye sight. Both walked away with scrapes and bruises, but at least they walked away!

I loved that it wore Ry out! He came home and took a 3 hour nap...and then went to bed early!
That has never happened...not even after six hours with two back to back football games :)
