Bucket List Number 2: Snowboarding with Little Man

TM went off last Saturday to snowboard for the first time. It was actually the first time for both of them, so he signed them up for an all day class. LM seemed to get the hang of it and came out tired, but with a good experience. TM on the other hand struggled a bit. He got the hang of it at the end and finally started to gain some speed. The instructor told them to ball their hands into fists to keep from breaking their wrists if the fell on them. TM dutifully balled up his fists, but as he was flying down the mountain, he fell right on one of them. This resulted in some major pain on his side. We ended up visiting the urgent care the next morning to find out that he had a bruised rib. The funniest part of it all was that everyone kept asking what a 41 year old man was doing snowboarding for the first time. I just laughed, that is until I saw him try to put his socks on! He is recovering and trying to get healed up so that he can go off and do all the adventures he has planned for the cruise. I just hope that he survives his year of adventure!
