omg Tommy do you remember this, so we all decided to go skiing, god we were probably 19-20 years old I cant remember. Karen, Amy, Me, Bobby, Tommy, Theresa forgive me if I leave anyone out. So Bobby and I had never got on ski's, he and I get to the top of this mountain, look at each other and say okay we can do this....little by little he and I made our way down the mountain so we thought, we didn't get that far. This little 5ish year old decides he is going to show us up and spray us with snow....lol needless to say it was so funny, we decided to take off our ski's walk down the mountain and call it a day...good times. miss you Bobby
