Aubrey's First Ski Day

So, Dallin has been chomping at the bit to get Aubrey up on skis since last year. In fact, we bought her her first pair of skis last winter, but haven't had a chance to get her up until just this past weekend. I was a bit curious to see how she would do -- considering she whined all morning as we tried on her boots, helmet and other ski stuff. But Dallin said that when they got to Mt. Rose, she was WAY excited to be there. Dallin put Jacob in a group ski lesson while he went with Aubrey and "taught her the ropes." Our neighbors let us borrow their "harness" and off they went down the slopes together. Her favorite part of the day? Riding the ski lift, of course.

I was fully expecting them to come home right after lunch, assuming Aubrey would be tired and fed up with her first ski lesson. But they actually ended up staying there the whole day b/c they loved it so much!

I am a terrible skier, but am determined to take lots of lessons next year so that I don't get left in the dust once my kids get older. Anyway, I'm elated my kids are learning to ski and let's just say that Dallin is on cloud 9.
