I had my first day of skiing with the MBSEF team this weekend. The mountain just opened this week, so it was to be my first day on skis for the year. I was so ridiculously stressed about it all week that the Bigs pulled me out of school early on Thursday and took me skiing to calm me down. It worked. I had a good time on Saturday. Plus, everybody got a Thursday afternoon of skiing.
Saturday was also the Birthday of the Mother. I got to take a few runs with her to celebrate.
I also made her a seasonal birthday arrangement using various twigs from the forest.
Birthday dinner was poke bowls at Poke Row. Dad had the Tyler Bowl: spicy tuna, salmon, tuna, cucumber, edamame, carrot, mango, sweet onion, sesame soy, spicy mayo, seaweed salad, tobiko, ginger, furikake, fried onion, and avocado.
Mom had the NWX Bowl: tuna, shrimp, salmon, mango, sesame soy, spicy yuzu, green onion, sesame seed, crispy noodle, toasted seaweed, and avocado.
I, of course, created my own bowl: shrimp, mango, edamame, pickled ginger, and crispy noodles. So good. Want to try?
After dinner we went to the Nutcracker.
We got Mom a mini cheesecake to enjoy after the show. It was not good.
Sunday I went Nordic skiing with the Bigs. Here I am on my brand new classic skis:
I have been studying ancient Greek mythology lately. A few of my drawings:
Love the Gorgon! You captured him/ her completely!
All of your Poke bowls looked yummy …. And I’m so glad you got to see the Nutcracker! I think your Mom’s birthday was celebrated so well!
Send some of your mountain’s snow this way, please
❤️
Wow, I have snow envy, all we get her is rain and then more rain. Sounds like a nice celebration for your Mom. I love the birthday flower arrangement, simple yet creative!
Wow! The Nutcracker. Do you have favorite character? Like jacket and tie Emmett. You look very handsome. Love Jim
So glad you got the ski stress out and enjoyed Saturday. Your forest arrangement was very nice. I hope you enjoyed the nutcracker you sure dressed nice for it. To bad moms only chance for cake wasn’t very good but I’m really sorry I didn’t get to go to Poke. Fantastic bowls!!
Your artwork was right on👍
Looking good on that downhill.
Em, Like your new classic skis and your form Nordic skiing.
