Vacation~

My time going to Keystone this past March was one I'll never forget. It wasn't the most extravagant trips this world has ever seen but it was one that had some of the best memories. For instance, the 9hour drive down packed with a van full of girls was the loudest vehicle probably on that interstate. Though the past eight hours driving to Colorado were loud, the last hour was spent gazing at all the beautiful mountains that we saw while stuck in a traffic jam. Passing through all the small little towns was very interesting! There were houses in places you'd never would see houses at in Nebraska. Each small village had their own little cafe to eat at and about five other houses you'd call your neighbor. These villages were all just alike, except the town we passed through just before arriving at our condo. When we got to our condo we unpacked all the food from all the various vehicles that carpooled. Girls went and unpacked in one room while the guys unpacked in another. Then when we realized we were in the wrong room we packed up again and drug all our belonging to the correct room. The first night we just spent unloading and relaxing in our condos. By morning we were all ready to hop on the next bus carrier to go down the mountains. Some people got up super early to hit the slopes, but me, I slept in. I was probably tired from the rough cold floor that kept me up, since all the adults got all the comfy warm beds. Since the boys got most of the food, I got up and went over to the boys room to get some breakfast and I was all ready to snowboard for the very first time. Olivia and I had gained enough confidence to try snowboarding, but the only thing we didn't realize was that we needed to take ski class before we ever tried snowboarding. So me and Olivia had to pay extra for ski classes (that we didn't want to take), wait two hours for our scheduled appointment, and take a day and a half of our ski trip in ski class. The whole time I was thinking, "Man, I wish I could be snowboarding with everybody else. Even if I may fall down the entire time." But I stayed in class, and learned on the bunny slopes. Once we got past all the unnecessary tips and tricks, that night I took Justin Lees skiing pass and I hit a blue slope for the very first time. I honestly was kind of scared, just because I kept thinking that it was going to be a drop off, but once I got asked to prom with a bunch of shirtless guys, I didn't care about the blue. The hardest part was the ski lift for me.. Haha. I don't know why, but I could NOT land the ski lift, and people probably figured I was the worst snowboarder ever but no, the ski lift just got to me. I literally dreaded just going on the ski lift, but I loved snowboarding! After I finished my first blue, I wanted more! I might have caught onto some things by watching Matt biff it a lot and Joe about run into a tree because I obviously took their tips and decided to sprain my tailbone. But at least Olivia was getting most of the guys attention by falling down the whole time. She probably spent most of her time going down the mountain on her butt while I went on my face. But overall snowboarding was the best first experience ever!
