With little hope for more snow to snowboard, Kyle thought we should go up to Big Bear for the weekend. After checking out our little cabin we went night tubing.
The next morning we hung out then went to Snow Summit for the snowboard lesson. We got all of Olivia's rental equipment and she was excited...until we dropped her off in a room with other kids. After 45 minutes of her crying, they called me to pick her up. She was lonely and decided to try to snowboard when she was a few years older. I pulled her out of the class and she's like, okay, lets go home. I said no way girl, you're snowboarding. Kyle said he couldn't teach her and I said I will.
We found a little hill off to the side and I put her in the board. She could stand pretty well. Kyle then walked her up the hill and walked down with her. He is such a good teacher. He's patient and explains things clearly. I'm more like, okay go and try not to fall.
After a few times of holding Kyle's hand down the mountain, she said she wanted me to take her. I knew I was going to just let her go but at the top she said, okay mom, let go of my hand. She took off. I had to run after her. She was so amazingly awesome.
