Skiing Commences!

Our final day of vacation came quickly. With so little (no!) snow at home, we decided to feel wintery and go skiing. It served also to help us practice getting up early again...  

 The kids did so well! We spent the morning on the rope tow, and they picked up right where we left off last season. Lunch in the lodge was a chance to warm up, but Mitch wanted us to hurry up and get back outside!

Shannon did very well and barely cried at all.

In fact, after lunch we rode Chair 1 for the first time with her (and Mitch came, too). Mitch managed to lose a ski loading, and Shan didn't get off (I had to pull her off behind me), but that was it. Otherwise, they did very well navigating the hill, turning and staying in control.

The day ended with 2pm lessons for two hours. They rocked it and have been advanced to the green level next time, which is almost entirely on Mimi. They were sore and tired, but so happy! Bryan and I are already scheming on ski trips in a few years...
