I think snowboarding is a heredity thing because my brothers also love to snowboard. The only thing I dislike is that their ability to rip up the slopes is better than my own. On Monday the 22nd, the Bartholomews took the day off to ski at LIBERTY. Liberty is a local mountain outside of Gettysburg. I remember it well because 6 years ago I chipped my front tooth in a downhill mountain bike event. Check out this year’s story at the end of the page

We had a big crew with us at Liberty. Tim only brought 5 of his 9 kids. Maybe more, but I lost track. They were all great kids, but Jim was another young gun showing me up on his snowboard!J

Brent teaching me how to jump!J

 

 

 

 

Me applying what Brent taught me, after I fell and smashed

My nose on the first jump. I just can’t leave Liberty w/out

Hitting my head on something. But like Chris said about my nose,

“I don’t think it can get any bigger!” What wise guyJ

 

How we looked afterwards. (sorry guys, I had to put

This picture up!) Bummer no one can see the scratches

On my face, but I needed more attention anywayJ

Tigger was sitting across the room judging us and thinking,

“You people will never learn! Stay in side in winter and get

more sleep.”
