Family Skiing


Skiing together on Valentine's Day weekend- what a sweet date! We kept a steady speed for a couple of hours (if you have kids, you can relate to how rare this is!), we saw a porcupine up close, and we both had a major wipe-out! Tons of fun! Thanks for keeping the kids, Grandma Debby and Roland! We topped it off with dinner and a movie at the Bear's Tooth.



A beautiful afternoon on the Gold Mint Trail in Hatcher's Pass. The best part of skiing is always the hot chocolate break! :-) The kids have gotten really good on their skis, and they love it! A pocketful of M&Ms, and toe warmers in the boots- I think we're up to 2.5 miles now! We even found a snow fort on the trail!






The first ski of the year was in the yard back in November. It was obvious then that Abby needed to wear David's skis, and he needed an upgrade. They grow so fast! They love to make trails through the woods and obstacle courses in the yard to challenge one another with. David is a daredevil, and Abby is slow and steady. We're so proud of our skiiers!
