Ski Trip

It was a beautiful day to ski!!! Clear skys!!! We went to Snowmass today which is around 20 minutes from Aspen.  Our friends were also there so we had fun skiing with them today.  I got sick in the afternoon from altitude sickness.  I've been drinking a ton of water but I still got sick.  Dan went to the store today and bought some oxygen for me to inhale.  I immediately felt better after having it.  I even made it to dinner even though an hour before I was throwing up.   The girls did awesome on the slopes today.  It took us one run to find out ski legs.  Megan caught on the fastest.  I am still not completely comfortable with the blues.  I did one today but I just have this sick feeling when I'm going down it.    Skiing is suppose to be fun and I don't like getting all tensed up just because I'm going down a blue run.   Some of it is mental for me.  
We are expecting a snow storm tonight.  Around 5 inches.  It will be nice to ski on some fresh powder.  Today the slopes were a little icy.   Happy Skiing!!! 

Oh.. One more thing that happened today.  I sat next to a man on the bus today from Halls, TN!!! He's an attorney and now considers himself a true Memphian but grew up in Halls.   Not only was he on the same shuttle but he is also staying in the same hotel as us.  He graduated in the 70's.  I wasn't even born.  I wanted to talk more to him but while I was on the bus I think I was a shade of green because as SOON as I got back to the room I threw up!!  I wanted to throw up on him but I held it in (not sure how but I did)

Sorry you are sick! I had that tense feeling the last few times I skied. I just couldn't get over the fear that I might fall and break my legs and not be able to take care of the boys! I guess you have to just let it go and have fun! Ya'll have a great time!
