Skiing!!

I have been waiting to take the kids skiing since Bailey was born six-and-a-half years ago and finally got to go a little earlier this month.

Gone are the days of getting your stuff together and hitting the slopes now that there are two kids to take care of. In the time it took to get their gear, get their skis rented and over to the school I could've gotten to the top of the mountain and and been down a few runs!

We did get them in a class to let the pros start them out right. We dropped them off, watched for a few (reminded me when we used to spy on them in preschool), then we went off to get a few runs in. Jeni learned to ski in Colorado, where she's from originally, so she can go down anything but takes her time. I, on the other hand was so stoked to be in the snow after a few years off, just wanted to get some serious speed and some big air... woo hoo!!

So after about three runs (it was a Saturday so the lines were terrible- won't do that again!) it was time to watch the kids and see how they were doing. Bailey was on the bunny hill after taking her first chairlift and Caysen was taking a break after a rigid training session:)

We then picked them up and took them both on the lift for a few more runs after having lunch to refuel. They both did great with they're 'pizza' stance. I can't wait for them to get better so we can all ski together!

Terrible way to end a nice day of skiing: driving down the mountain (we went to Snow Summit) in stop-and-go traffic!!!

Yes, I did make the whole family stop to get a good shot of the frozen part of the lake at sunset:
