alas....the white stuff has arrived!!!

The white stuff that finally fell last week created lots of smiles....

as well as a handful of upside down-smiles
as learning something new requires lots and lots of trials!

but, after a little (okay, A LOT)
of pep-talking....

and mental prep/visualization...

attitudes shifted (a.k.a improved)

and the real fun,

and sense of accomplishment came!

Thank you Lorrie for lending us the perfect backyard hill!
We'll be back :)
