As most people who know Rachel know, she's a sporty kid who isn't afraid of much. So it wasn't a surprise that she wanted to try snowboarding. So we scheduled a lesson and headed to the mountains. Her friend Julia joined us to ski in the morning during Rachel's lesson. Meanwhile Steve and I took a cross country lesson.

She had a great instructor, Alex, who was only a few years older and a lot of fun. She seemed to get the hang of it.

After lunch felt confident enough to go down the hill with Julia. Unfortunately, although she made it down the hill she took an awkward fall at the bottom. Julia called and and we got back from the cross country trail as quickly as we could and headed home. Rachel has a high tolerance for pain and the fact that it hurt enough to make her cry made it certain that a trip to the ER was necessary. Sure enough. the wrist was broken. Cast on and five weeks without sports. Rachel is truly most annoyed that it will keep her from playing the whole basketball season!
