Skiing

As everyone in Utah and now around the country knows we have no snow. Steve has been wanting to take the kids skiing but when there is no snow it makes it a little rocky. But the resorts are doing their best and keep making it so over the break Steve took the kids up for half the day and let them ride the free lifts. He got a few photos and a few videos of them. I don't think this free thing is going to last past this year if that. Damen already went with the school and tried out other runs and loved it. Steve says they are ready to move on but are we ready for the bill that comes with that? I'm not sure!

Railey's 1st Skiing Experience

On Martin Luther Day we decided Steve would take the kids skiing. We had Railey all ready to go with her new skis (DI $8) when Steve had the idea to take her over to the church hill, instead of up to the resort. That was the best idea ever! She loved skiing but was done after about 20 minutes and wanted to go sledding with the boys. She did great, as you'll see on the videos. Yeah she's 2 1/2 and skis better than me. Steve keeps telling me if I'm going to learn I better do it with the girls 'cause the boys are already way better and would actually scare me to watch them at this point.

We practiced the pizza before we went over

Her cute double chin poking through her coat (oh she's so excited)

Waiting for dad to pick her up. She couldn't walk the boots were too big

Just getting the skis on and practicing pizza on the snow

there she goes down the hill

Here are a couple of videos of how well she was doing by the end. She's a natural!

Boys Showing Their Mom Up

Steve took the boys up skiing yesterday and they did great! They have already surpassed me that's for sure. Steve says it is now too late for me to learn they are already better! Seth is Mr. Go after it and Damen is Mr. Cautious. Seth bonsai's down the hill Damen takes his time. This isn't just in skiing but in everything. It's fun to see their different personalities play out even in something like skiing.

This one is Seth going down.
