Snowboarding

Jason and I thought it would be fun to take Jonah and Graham snowboarding.  They had a great deal at Sundance for night skiing so off we went.  Of course we started on the bunny hill but it didn't take long to realize that wasn't going to work for us.  Poor Jonah kept falling off the tow rope on the way up the hill.  He tried over and over but kept falling down.  It got to the point where there were tears in his eyes and a huge line of people behind him.  That's when we decided to bag the bunny hill and head up the mountain.  
There were several places to get off the lift and I wasn't familiar with the resort so I wasn't sure where to get off.  Well, we ended up getting off at the VERY top!  To my horror the signs at the top had a blue square and black diamond...not good.  Well, the only way out was down so off we went.  It wasn't terrible until we got to a part where gravity wanted to take Jonah down the black diamond trail instead of the blue one.  I hurried and sat down in the snow and stretched my legs out so Jo could grab my snowboard and then I slowly inched him back up the hill.  Jason came over and I thought it was to help but he got out his phone and started videoing it.
Despite a few more falls (a big one by me which left me with some bruises and a super sore tail bone) and some tears the boys caught on in the end and had a great time.
