Slice of Heaven

A Full Day of Skiing!!!

We had a great day of skiing today...the weather finally cooperated, and everyone enjoyed themselves on the slopes! Bay & Eric spent the morning in ski school. We always try to get them at least one lesson each year, it makes such a big difference in their skills, especially since we just only go once a year. Eric, of course, was not excited about going, and was totally grumpy even when he was done, but he really got some good pointers and worked on what he learned all afternoon. He was happily skiing some of the expert slopes with his new confidence :) Bay's lesson really paid off as well. He mastered the wedge for stopping, and even though he was wiped out after a morning of skiing, he went out tonight after a good nap this afternoon, and he and Dennis skiied about 10 times down the magic carpet slope and he really got a good handle on his stopping, turning and staying in control. He said, " I LOVE SKIING!!!" The snow today was just groomed ice mostly, but the weather was beautiful, so we had a great time. In between going out on the slopes, we took turns hanging out at the condo with Leah or making dinner and having lunch. They have a nice hot tub here, and Dennis & Leah spent some time this morning in there, and Eric & Dennis sat in the hot tub for about an hour this afternoon before dinner. We have been having so much fun just being able to relax. Tomorrow is our last day skiing, and then we leave on Saturday to go back home. The videos up above are of each of the kids and a little clip of each of them skiing.
