Skiing Day

This post is by me and Daddy Geek.

Yesterday Daddy and I went to Liberty Mountain Resort. At first, we tried snowboarding. Neither of us liked it very much. We were going to have a lesson, but I was getting tired and hungry and upset. We stopped for lunch. After lunch we switched to skiing. It took a little while and involved walking without shoes on, but eventually we got it done.

[DG: This was GG's first vertical snow sport day -- we have only sledded before this.  Liberty is a small resort only about 90 minutes' drive from here, and they were having a Spring Break deal, so it sounded like a good idea.  Of course, we had no fun at all - it was just work allll day long, Mama Geek.  No fun.  Really.  You can tell by the video and pictures.  Oh, and: hooty hooty hooty bananas, GG!]

Now for the details of us skiing...

I fell down a lot. Here is a picture:




Here we are on the ski lift [DG: I liked the first picture, but GG insisted on showing the second as well.]:




Me getting ready to ski:


Here are some videos of me skiing:








DG: Sorry for the wind noise and shaky iPhone video.  Also, these are the trimmed versions -- we took almost 800 MB of video yesterday!

Now I have a challenge for you: Say "Hooty hooty hooty bananas" without smiling or laughing even a little bit. Daddy made that up. And no, that isn't related to skiing. It's just funny.

[DG: Actually, it was my way of getting GG to actually smile for pictures -- come up with something nonsensical and fun to say, then use it over and over and over again.]

  1. Hooty hooty hooty bananas not only sounds funny, but they taste good too! Looks like a great day of fun on the snow!
