Snowboarding at Brighton

Well I went snowboarding again with the Ellison side of the family. Cambria still didn't go since she is pregnant and she is respecting my wishes that she not go even though the doctor said it should be fine. We went to Brighton Ski Resort where Cambria and I always go with her dad, Monty. I wasn't the only one snowboarding this time, in fact, everyone was snowboarding. Nathan taught Claudia how to snowboard while Tyler taught Mindy. Monty and I spent most of the time going down the hill together since we had nobody to teach. It was fun, however, to stop on our way down and see the learners progress and watch them fall from time to time. They did really well but didn't escape the day without getting a few bumps and bruises from some good falls. I ended up hitting a patch of ice near the bottom of the hill and I landed right on my hip. It hurt pretty bad so I went in to the lodge with Mindy and Claudia for the last half hour while Monty, Nathan, and Tyler went to the other half of the mountain and got one last run in. I guess they got really stuck in a gully with a lot of powder and struggled to get out. All in all it was a really fun day and it was great to spend time with the family.
