[QUOTE="gcvmom, post: 344247, member: 3444"] Fran, TM, they LOVED the snowboarding! Star, I sat and yapped with two other parents from our town who were up there with their kids today. It was chaotic getting everyone signed up for their lesson and equipment and then directed where to go next -- so it was good I just hovered to make sure they knew what to do. Next time, I think I'll probably be able to join in since they'll know the drill. But the dream sequence you painted WAS lovely! :happy: easy child started to dig in her heels saying she didn't want to do anything when we first pulled in the parking lot. That's because all she could see were some black diamond runs -- I think it freaked her out a little. I assured her that she would NOT be going anywhere near slopes like that, and that it would mostly be flat for her. So she gave in, but then when she found out that because of her age she'd have to stay with her kids academy group ALL day, she started to pout. But THEN, there were two or three girls her age who joined the class, and she relaxed and eventually had a great time. This kid is SO predictable with her anxiety. The boys did well in their class -- except for one time when difficult child 2 wandered off and tried to go off a jump in the middle of class. Sorta got yelled at by the instructor, which then put him off a bit. Whatever. It's nice to have OTHER people be in charge of your kids once in a while. At the end of the class, I think the instructor finally realized difficult child 2 had some "issues" and he was trying to be extra patient with him. He said both boys were actually at more of an intermediate level and did very well for the first day. That's what happens when you're young and in good shape! Everyone is exhausted. Including me. Who knew standing around in the cold and talking all day could be such a workout! :raspberry-tounge: But one thing is for certain, I REALLY want to be able to keep up with them the next time we go, so I've got some work to do.
