| Happy Birthday Sophie! |
Today was our first day of skiing in New Zealand. After 32
hours of traveling we finally made it to the land of kiwis. When the love bus
took off for the mountain this morning, the weather was fair. During our drive
up, Sophie got a call for her mother who informed her that it was her birthday.
(How did she not know?????) Her excuse, “I didn’t have facebook to remind me.”
Whatever. Libby and Harlow became experts at putting chains on. After
struggling for twenty minutes, they realized that the chain has to be the same
size as the wheel. Once the chains were on, the love bus was ready to tackle
some extreme off-roading and we all made it to the lodge safe and sound.
We
were getting ready in the lodge and didn’t think things could get any better,
when Erin Mielzynski and Marie-Michelle Gagnon sat down next to us. The morning
started off great until the second run when Mardi, Lisa, Coley (That New Girl),
and Eliza were stopped by the Mt. Hutt ski patrol for “racing” down the bunny
trail (on slalom skis while doing drills). He almost pulled their passes but
let them off with a warning. Audrey and Bug looked extra sharp in their
mismatch of borrowed ski clothes and rented helmets due to their lost baggage.
Overall it was a solid day of skiing.
For
dryland we went for a quick jog, played soccer with some local boys (cuties!),
(who were 12), did a core, and recovered with a hot-cold bath. We ended the day
with a song called Happy Birthday and a delicious homemade cake!
Xoxo, Lardi
