Skiing!

Two weeks ago (yes, you read that right - 2 weeks! I have been horrible at this lately) we took the girls skiing for the first time.  It was a beautiful day - we were having a major inversion in the valley and so the sun was actually shining and it was 15 degrees warmer up in the mountains. It was the perfect day for skiing, especially skiing for the first time!  They were spoiled by the weather.  In fact, once we got up to Alta, we realized that Brinn had left her coat at home.  But she didn't even need it!  It was that warm.  It would have been wonderful by my standards if there only hadn't of been all that darn snow! :D 

Here they are on the car ride up the mountain.  They were so excited, but a little uncertain of what they had just agreed to do.  Every few minutes they would look out the windows at the mountains and ask "Are we going to have to ski down a hill that steep?!"

Their little skis were so cute!  The binding took up most of the skis.  They thought they were so cool until they had to put them on their feet.  Then the realization of what they were about to do hit them...
But they both did great!  And, more importantly, they both liked it!  Lauryn caught on pretty quickly - turning is still an issue, but she can snow plow like a pro!  Brinn couldn't pick up the snow plow, but she loved pointing her skis straight down the hill and just falling when she wanted to stop!  That girl is all speed (no surprise there).  Cameron and I never made it down a real run, but that was just fine with us.  We had a great time with the girls and are looking forward to the time when we can all ski together as a family!
