Hello. This weekend has been pretty sweet! Erin called me up on Wednesday and was like hey wanna go skiing this weekend, and I was like yeah sure! So Erin, Carina, and I drove 3 1/2 hours to Gaylord, MI at 6am on Saturday morning. We got there around 10ish I think it was. Carina and I had to walk down the ski hill to get to where skis are rented at. We got our skis and started at the bunny hill. Since I had only been skiing once in my life...and it was in 6th grade, Erin had to teach me how. I did the pizza cutter thing most of the time. After a bit, we started going down the easy hill. I got the hang of that one after awhile, so we went on the intermediate hills. Some of them weren't too hard, but there was one that was really steep. Carina was going down sideways so that she wouldn't go too fast, so I tried to do the same. I somehow ended up turning forward and was unable to stop myself and ended up going down it really really fast....the good thing was, I did not fall! =] However, I did fall like atleast a half a dozen times if not more. For lunch we ate at the restaurant. We had a waitress named Floydean. She was awesome. We wrote her a message on the drawable table cloth. But then a different waitress didn't even show her and proceeded to crumple it up into a ball. It was very sad. Anyways, we did some more skiing. The last run we did, I fell really hard and face planted. It hurt really bad, and I decided that I was done for the day. We returned our skis and then went to our hotel. Literally less than 5 minutes later, our hotel room was covered in clothing and our stuff. It was kind of funny. They have an outdoor pool and hot tub, so we got our swim suits on and went out to those. It was FREEZING walking out there, but it was warm when we got in. It was neat. Then after that, we went to the sauna and the indoor hot tub. It was great fun. Then, we went back to our room and ordered grinders and watched tv. We ended up going to bed at like 10pm. lol We planned to get up at 7:30 so that we could be outside and ready when it opened. That did not happen. We did not get up until an hour later. We went to the restaurants and ate breakfast. Each of us had a breakfast voucher so we ate for free! Then, we went back to the slopes and skied until about 1ish. We then left for Ypsilanti, but got distracted by the Dairy Queen. We stopped there and ate lunch. There was an old man that called Erin BooBoo. hahaha We got back around 5ish I think it was. I've got like 4 big bruises on my legs from falling and where my boots hit. I also think I got whiplash from falling. So I am rather sore, but it was a great time! AND it was cost less than $150 for the hotel, skiing for 2 days, 2 days of rentals, all of the food, and gas. Which is really really good. I am glad I went and would totally do it again! We took bunches of pictures, but it is easier to just put them all of facebook, so that's where they're at!!!
Now I am back at school though. Boo to that. And my room is a mess because my overnight bag exploded. haha Well, I am going to jet. I hope you guys all had as good of a weekend as I did! =]
