Canoe ride!

Last Saturday we met my in-laws at Cabela's. While we were there, we took advantage of Cabela's "try it before you buy it" special and our family went out in a canoe! It was super windy that day but we had a great time! We almost looked like we knew what we were doing! Cabela's plan worked - we were almost convinced to buy a canoe - almost!

Skiing??? Oh boy - I haven't gone skiing since high school...

Well, my family really wanted to ski and we were able to find a day that was cheaper.... so I guess no more excuses. We were going skiing! I was petrified once I got to the top of the practice hill. Twice I took off my skis and WALKED down the hill. But my husband encouraged me, gave me a few tips and reminded me to have confidence that the skis WILL stop me. Well, I took his advice and was able to actually go down the hill - several times. And it was a lot of fun! I didn't end up going down any bigger hills but maybe next time....
