Snowboard or Bust

Last month, my sister (Amanda), her husband (Anthony) and Brandon and I headed to Tahoe for a little snowboarding. My sister and I had never boarded (she had never been on a ski mountain) so we signed up for a 4 hour lesson. This is basically how the day went for us:
"There is no way I am going to get this"
"Help"
"Do I have to fall in order to stop?"
"Ouch"
"I am never going to off the bunny slope"
"This is soooo frustrating!"
"Oh no! Is it broken??"

The day ended with Amanda falling and fracturing her wrist in two places (this with the wrist guards on).

I hit the bunny slope the next day hoping Brandon's instruction would help. It didn't. I ended my day with a hard fall that left me sitting funny for two weeks and so frustrated I wanted to cry.

So guess you could say it was BUST!

We might go up for another day - I haven't yet decided if I attempt boarding or stick to skiing.
