Last year Mark and I went xc skiing for the first time, and really liked it. We were excited for Bailey to try it out this winter. We made a deal that if none of us missed a day working out in January, then we would go skiing at Harriman in Island Park. We had so much fun! Bailey ended up really liking it! Last year it was a beautiful, sunny day when we were there. This year it was rainy, dark, and overcast. It gave the park a whole different look. Either way, the park is equally gorgeous! The snow conditions weren't the best, which caused a lot of falls...oh wait, maybe that was just our lack of ability! Hahaha, either way, the crashes were hilarious! Bailey and Mark never fell hard, but they fell a ton of times. It was so funny watching them try to get back up. I only fell once, but it was a big one! I wiped out right at the bottom of one of the hills. Bailey was watching me and didn't even laugh at first because she thought I knocked the wind right out of myself. I fell backwards and landed flat on my back. I was laughing so hard I couldn't even breath! Good thing snow is soft! Once Bailey realized I was still alive, she got in a good laugh over it! We went about 7.5 miles. It's a pretty good workout. We're excited to go back up there. If we don't miss any workouts in February, then we're going back up to snow shoe! I'm super excited about that!
