Ski Trip

About one week ago, I embarked on huge adventure. I went skiing!!! for the first time ever!!! and now I am addicted to skiing!!!!!
The reason I went on this trip was to go to the CMA youth retreat, Avalanche.This retreat takes place every year in Cadillac, Michigan. It's about a 5 hour car ride. Imagine multiple teenagers squeezed into a church van,with all of them running on low blood sugar. I shudder just thinking about it. Everything was fine and dandy until about the last hour of the ride, when we really started to get on each other's nerves. About nine people total went. My parents were the chaperons :)It made for quite an interesting weekend :)
Besides skiing, we went to some great sessions. Dave and Tara Powers spoke and lead worship. We not only had a blast, but learned a lot too. They were on the platform for LIFE 2007, and are serving again this year. They are both great people. They were so friendly and outgoing.
The day we went skiing was Sunday. We took lessons since most of us had never skied before. I stayed on the bunny hills, but ventured on the beginner hills. Three times was enough for me. I know learned that I don't enjoy ski lifts, and that it is very hard to get up if you fall down while attempting to get off of the ski lift. While I stuck to the bunny hills, some of the beginning skiers thought it would be fun to go down a black diamond run. My parents quickly put a stop to that :)
We were all really bummed to leave, and I hope I can go again next year. I would post some sweet pics, of me tearing up the slopes, but I can't currently find my camera right now :( Perhaps in the next few days? I know you are all dying to see my amazing talent......
