Winter Break: Saturday

We decided to try to get to Ski resort "early" on Saturday.  This meant leaving the house around 9:30am and starting to ski around 10am.  I was so excited to bring Jesse along so that he could see the progress our children have made.  I was equally excited to have the freedom to go on a few runs by myself.  It was really fun to show him how much better they have all gotten at skiing and to see him excited to take the biggies on the ski lift.  He shot some pretty good footage of each of the kids skiing, and he enjoyed riding up the ski lift with Rubba.  We even did one run where all five of us went up the ski lift. 

On Thursday, Eli rode the J-Bar up all by himself on the last two runs of the day {and then skied down the hill with the backpack harness}.  He was very insistent that he also do this by himself on Saturday as well. It was a proud moment to see him go up the lift all by himself over and over again without falling. 

The boys petered out around 12:30pm and Jesse took them to the car. Maddie was still wanting to ski some more, so I ended up taking her down 4-5 more times.  I truly enjoyed being able to ski with my daughter.  She is finally hitting a point where it is no longer a chore to have her ski with me.  She can ski down most of the beginner/intermediate runs and even learned how to ski over moguls.
