This week we returned to Mexico for Baja shrimp tacos with lime crema, rice and beans, and fried plantains.
I decided to spend my allowance on another soldering kit. Here I am getting started.
This one is going to take a while. Can you guess what I am making?!
We had another powder day today. It was a real Pacific Northwest kind of day. Wet, wet snow. It was tricky skiing. I managed, falling less than The Mother…
and even did another black diamond (Grotto) not once but TWICE.
The picture does not do it justice, it was very good.
I have some complaints about my wardrobe. My underwear aren’t right, the pants mom bought me are for toddlers, and I am SO over the sneakers without LACES.
That’s better. Now about my underwear…
We did not have school on Friday. Why not? It’s not like The Bigs have jobs or anything. Mom took Hazel and me to the rock gym.
I climbed to the very top every single time.
I did some cross country skiing on Saturday. I said I was tired, but I just kept going.
And then on Sunday, I did some ‘pine.
We were all having fun, until…
I decided it was time to conquer my last lift. NORTHWEST EXPRESS. The Bigs conferred. They felt confident there had to be one reasonable run off the lift. Incorrect.
So, we chose this one.
Oh, yes, it was an icy black diamond.
Even The Bigs admitted it was terrible. They said it was a ‘character building experience’. I guess that is another way to say BAD PARENTING.
I made it down and was all smiles. Maybe, just maybe, they were right.
We were out of school for a 10 day quarantine, went back for 4 days, then went on the two week Christmas break and then after only being back in school for 6 hours school was closed for snow.
This week’s country was Japan, so we had ramen.
This was a big week as it was my first time on red chair.
After lots of snowy days (Batchelor received 66 inches of snow in the last 7 days), Sunday was a sunny day
check out the trees…
Here I am working on the scratchables Uncle Jim sent. It took lots of quiet concentration. I really enjoyed it, but I think The Bigs enjoyed it even more :).
