终于去滑雪了!

今天在Rui的带领下去滑雪了! 多亏了他带我们去,不然我和Xiao根本找不到哪里去租ski的器具和哪里去买学滑雪的联票,甚至我和Xiao最开始根本不知道怎么把笨重的滑雪鞋穿上。


滑雪学起来比我想象得难,我的主要问题是很难及时停止和控制速度。 好多次我都不得已要故意在雪地里坐一实实在在的大屁股蹲儿来让自己马上停下 >_< 还好摔在雪上一丁点儿都不疼。

我摔倒的壮观场面实在是惨不忍睹,也没被善良的人们抓拍下来,就先上几张我们在enjoy滑雪的片片吧。。。



Xiao非常得意他学滑雪学得比我进步快。

Snow Storm

We just witnessed and survived the 5th biggest snowstorm in Minnesota. The metro area got above 17 inches of snow yesterday.

In some places the sky actually is falling. The Metrodome roof collapsed due to the heavy snow around 5am this morning. Poor Vikings had to fly to Detroit to "host" the NFL game against NY Giants.



It's bitterly cold outside today and the wind chill reached up to -40 degrees. I'm not brave enough to go skiing due to the dangerous coldness......hopefully next weekend.

Took some pictures around our house today.
