Sledding

We had two small hills in the yard and the kids found two sleds in the house and so the sledding began. They would sled every night when we came home. We thought they would be exhausted after skiing all day and go to bed early. Well, wishful thinking on our part. They loved the sledding especially Presley, she would ask if she could sled on the way back to the house. The energy they have just absolutely amazes me.

I have to say I love these the best. This is how they were the whole time with each other. They were so sweet and couldn’t get enough of each other. It was so darn cute. I hope they always get along this well.

Ski School

We bought the girls helmets because we wanted them to be safe. I am so glad we chose pink helmets so we could locate them easily. They had a lot of kids in their class. Brooke has the pink coat and Presley has the pink pants. We watched them for a while before I left for my ski lesson and they were already getting the hang of it. They started them out on one ski and then gradually went to two skis. Pizza to stop and french fry  to go. It amazes me how fast kids learn. By day three, they were skiing better than me, getting on the lift and skiing down the bunny slope. They had no fear. They had different colored dots that they used to move them up as they made progress. They were all a red dot by the end of day three and that was each one of their goals was to get a red dot. Clay and Josh could ski down the big mountain and did it like a pro. They were so good that Alan had to tell them to slow down. I loved picking them up from ski school and hearing how their day went and most importantly what color dot they received. They love skiing and can’t wait to go next year.
