A Ski Adventure to Remember

We dived in and bought ski equipment for the whole family with hopes that eventually we will be able to take ski vacations!

So far so good, the boys love it, and I am doing my best to try to like it. 

Until this weekend.....

While visiting my parents, Tony and I were going to hit the slopes on our own.  We bought our lift tickets, went to put on our ski boots and well I couldn't even get my boots on my feet.  I bought them two months earlier, they fit perfect.  I'm pretty sure my feet didn't grow, I am not quite sure what went wrong.  But I knew these boots were not fitting my feet.  Tony went skiing, I went back to Sport Check.  

Bad news, I found out that they don't make woman's boots pass 9.5.  Lucky me, I have to get men's boots.

The next day we took the boys skiing.  I was renting boots, they fit perfect, I went to get them fitted to my skis and well they don't fit!  In fact, my skis won't fit the size of boot I need. Yep, I then rented skiis. 

 I know what your thinking, this couldn't get any worse.  Wrong, on our last run, Owen fell, hurt himself and our skiing adventure was done for the day or so we thought.  Owen is a bit of a drama queen, so we took his pain with a bit of humour, but by bedtime we knew there was something more wrong.

Off to the hospital the next morning, 5 hours later, from the emergency room to the xray room, back to emerg to find out nothing was broken, but there was fluid on his knee and a possible ligament tear.  The doctor ordered a brace and crutches and no hockey.  If you know Owen at all, you know that this news didn't go over so well.

His biggest concern was of course hockey and then his title of being 

the fastest kid in grade two!!  

Not sure that there will be skiing anytime soon.... 

Owen goes to the specialist next Tuesday... fingers crossed, its just a sprain.
