Riding, Skiing, Volleyball and Shooting!

The new year brought new exercise activities! Including riding, skiing, volleyball and shooting!

Penny, Paula and myself went off horse riding.

We had a lot of fun, despite the fact we went at a very slow pace. For those who went horse riding with me in Colorado, I was very good and did not hold back the horse like Dave and I did!

So riding was just not enough excitement. So we decided that 10 of us would go to the mountains for the day. For in America taking an 8 hour round trip journey is simply going down the road!

So we arrived at the mountains and bless those who believed they could get on their skies and ride the slopes!

Bless Jodie, who looked like a super model at the beginning of the day!

And like this at the end of the day - bless her!

But she was still smiling, despite spending most of the day on her arse as did lots of my friends.

Like Helen:

However, Jodie and Helen did return to the slopes later. There was just me, her and Helen and I gave them both a few pointers and now they love it and can stay up!

This is Aoife and Hannah. I spent most of the day with them - riding those slopes baby!

Yes, this is me. With my special hat (according to Hannah). I think it is actually quite attractive! Ok well it was warm!
