Kids 1st skiing adventure

The beginning of March, we decided that since the snow was melting and it was actually pretty nice outside, we would take the kids to the ski area (we had to drive a whole 5 minutes.. pretty sad this is the 1st time in the 5 years that we have lived here that we have actually went there.. guess it didn't help our kids have been pretty little the last 5 years and we weren't quite ready to tackle teaching them to ski )
Mason was pretty excited about it, course Mallory had no idea what was going on.



She did get on skis, but never did go down the hill..just stood there and watched the people, sung to the music over the PA, and talked to anyone skiing by that would listen. She does look pretty cute though doesn't she :)

Got Mason's skis on and Tony helped him closer to the tow rope and then he put his skis on. It didn't take Mason long to catch on. He might have fell one time coming down the 1st time, then a couple times the next time down, and then I think after that, the only time he fell was on the tow rope. AND I even almost fell hanging on to that thing. I had forgotten how hard it is to hold your own weight and be pulled up a hill!! My back let me know about it the next day :)

Not the best picture, but doesn't he have great form :)





A little video.. hard to video, take pictures, watch a 2 year old, stand on skis AND not fall over :) So didn't get many photos, but we did have a great time and I know we will be on the slopes more than one time next winter!!! I love winter, but we can wait about 9 months for some snow skiing
