Calm down. I'm going to tell you about how my little "white lie" turned out on the trip.
That's me. The one on the snow. I was "resting my legs." ha.
It turns out I had not over-exaggerated Jimmy's skiing ability in my head. He actually was that good. Show off :)
Thank God I brought Ben along so I could let them do their own thing and ski at my own pace.
See? Two peas on a Pod.
We all skied together a little bit as well. It went much better than I expected. Even though my legs were on fire and I kept making bargins such as "If I ever get down this mountain I'll never lie again," (hmmmm) I did excel at certain parts of the mountain...
As expected, I really rocked the chairlift part of skiing. I would sit back and pretend like I didn't care at all if we put the bar down, but as soon as we did I would throw my skis up there... so thankful for just a few minutes of relief. As the boys discussed the next runs we would take, I secretly hoped someone getting off at the top would fall just to make the ride a little bit longer.
On the bright side, my legs and butt did get a nice workout, which is why I felt fine about doing this...
Apparently beer tastes better if you feel like you earned it.
The only slight issue I had was when I got too tired/frustrated/unable to ski and jimmy had to carry my skis so I could take a break. I'm not sure my brother will ever let me live it down, but hey, if that's the worst thing that happened I'll consider it a success.
Other successes?
Shots of rumple minze at the Village Cafe.
Taking mom to the Mangy Moose.
Tons of great meals in Jackson Hole... and of course tons of hot tub time at the Four Seasons.
I'm a pretty lucky girl.
