i want to walk down the other side of the mountain

we have been taking advantage of our free time to learn some new tricks. todd and i rented skis the other day and then todd took me skateboarding. now todd and i are both accomplished snowboarders, and todd shreds on a skateboard. i haven't been on skis since the 5th grade, todd never. my skateboarding skills mostly involve pushing around.

i am learning that putting yourself outside of your comfort zone is all part of growth. it is fun to have to think about how to do something and to accomplish it, especially if it is getting yourself down a mountain. to figure out for yourself how to get your skis to not cross and how to turn without falling. you take things like this for granted when you are really good at doing it.

now skateboarding. todd loves skateboarding. i love skateboarding. on our big trip we will be visiting many skateparks and i like the idea of being capable of rolling around in them while todd does rad tricks.
i am pretty good at pushing around, but i learned my limits while going down a hill.
i will not be skateboarding down hills anytime soon. you should have heard my mom when i told her that i fell!! if you know anything about my family, you will know we have a history of falling off things like skateboards.
