Yup, we took the kids skiing for the first time last night! The elementary school had discounted tickets and so we thought we would give it a try. Kanyon was free so he came along too. I called a good friend from work and asked if she and her husband would come and help us out. He teaches skiing at Kelly's and they graciously said yes. THANK YOU CHRIS AND RYAN.
Ryan did so awesome with the kids. I told my mom that I was so glad that they were there because otherwise ,we surely would have lost our patience with the kids very early on. It is sure tough the first few times. They really enjoyed it though and Kanyon can't wait to go back. Kaydra had an earache that started about half-way through the night and didn't get better. She toughed it out though and kept on going - even with occasional tears. When we got home I gave her some ibuprofen and she woke up this morning feeling fine. They both say that they are sore but seem to keep going as good as ever.

I was able to try out my new board that I got for my birthday last year. It was AMAZING! I loved it. The bindings took a little getting used to but they will be awesome. There were so many times that I was bracing myself for a fall and I didn't fall! I know that I would have on my old board. It was awesome! The snow was great, they had about 5 inches of fresh powder and most of the night we were floating on it! SO FUN! I want to go again soon. 
My mom watched Miranda - THANK YOU - it was nice not to have to worry about her. She was awake and happy when we got home at 9:30. Crazy -- if I let her stay up that late she would be a MONSTER! Anyway we had a great time and I even shot a little video, although I have to learn not to yell so close to the mike! - ENJOY!

Oh my goodness Brooke - this SO reminds me of you and I night skiing at Kelly's! Good times!
Hey Brooke - crazy that you have kids old enough to take skiing. My husband keeps wanting to take our 4-year-old... I think I'd rather stick with cross-country!
You snowboard? Jealous!! I have one that has been collecting dust since before I had Aidan. That's awesome that you got to go! I still remember when your Mom was nice enough to teach me to ski.
Wow, they're doing awesome, I can't believe it. They must be naturals. Looks like you guys had fun! :)
How fun! They look so good. When Mike and I went snowoarding on our anniversary last month I couldn't help but think about that awesome day of powder we had a Lookout too many years ago. It was sunny and beautiful and powder was everywhere. I had so much fun with you. Do you remember? We will have to make some more memories soon!
Of course I remember! One of my favorite days of boarding. This reminded me of that day too! SO FUN!
