Our First Day

Well we did it, we took the girls skiing for the first time this year. The day went just about how we expected, a few tears but not to bad. We were reminded of the first year we took Matayia skiing and it definitely tested our patience. This year will be no different with Kaitlyn.



As soon as we got our skis on Matayia was ready to go. It seems as though our previous years of practice is really going to pay off this year. I told her we have 4 rules of Skiing... No Crying, have FUN, ski good, and lastly, look good!!! I think Matayia will definitely master these rules this year. Matayia keeps teasing me that by the end of the year she is going to beat me down the hill, and that just may be true!!

Kaitlyn was so excited to go skiing. She had been asking me every day when we were going skiing. But once we got there, trudged through the parking lot with our coats, snow pants, hats, gloves and of coarse our ski boots she was tuckered out. (Greg decided to Alpine ski this time and was reminded how uncomfortable those ski boots are, I think he had some extra sympathy for Kaitlyn) After we got the skis on there was about an hour of good quality, happy skiing. Kaitlyn learned real fast that skiing is harder than she had imagined. But she was a good sport, She went on the rope tow with Greg and she felt so grown up. The tears did start to flow towards the end, but all and all I think we had a pretty good day.
