It is official... we now have little "skiers."
While in Utah we picked up some used kid skis and John just couldn't wait to get them on the mountain. He waited for the perfect day.... which happened to be Christmas Eve. I could not go for the first trip, but John was determined to make it happen. So he took his kiddos to Alta - taught them some patterns in the snow with their boots and helped them get up and down the tow-rope for their FIRST ski experience. (Unless you count when we put Abigail in a front pack and skied with her down the mountain at 5 months old).
It was a very proud moment for John... a dream come true... his little ones on the mountain.
Later that week, both John and I took them both up again... this time to experience a real lift. Thank goodness Alta opens up a lift (Sunnyside) for free after 3 pm - a great opportunity to teach the kids.
All in all, the kids had fun. John and I got a serious workout from skiing two little ones down the hill, but by the end they were making progress. And most important - They LOVED it!
