It's been a dream of mine for a long time to have a ski day with our entire family together on the mountain, and this year it happened! Sure, we didn't ski all together, but we were all there and no one was left at home!
Molly has been saying she wanted to go skiing, so I hoped for the best for her first time. We all headed up to Brighton and she was so awesome! She wasn't skiing down the mountain on her own or anything, and actually didn't quite understand how to make a wedge, but she loved it, didn't complain, and wanted to keep going! She didn't seem to tire of it and kept saying she wanted to go back up the lift! I was really proud of her. She keeps saying she wants to go again, so that is a great sign. Sean worked with she and Davis in the morning while I skied with the older two boys, and then I worked with her in the afternoon while Sean and all the boys took a few runs together.
I loved riding up the chairlift with Molly. It was just so fun to have her there! There was one run where we were going down and she got away from me and was speeding straight down the mountain. I thought she would panic (I was panicking I wouldn't be able to catch up to her!) but she was blissfully unaware of crashing and was actually giggling her head off and loving the speed. I was, in fact, able to catch her and keep us both from falling, but it was close! It still makes me smile thinking about it.
Her little skis next to mine on the chairlift!
Hands on her hips like her daddy taught her!
The boys are so much fun to ski with. Jackson and Bode are really getting good and Davis is improving a lot also. Davis is anxious to do all of the same runs as his older brothers.
Three of the four kids fell right asleep on the drive home. A successful day!
I've also made few trips to Sundance with Jackson and Bode so far this year. I love skiing with these boys! I am happy they love it too.
Jackson's friend Kru met us one of the days we went. Kru is on a ski team at Sundance, and we had him show us his favorite runs. It was a really fun day.
I liked our shadow on the lift!
We've got a family ski trip planned to Big Sky next weekend we're excited about!
