With the Winter Games on tv...the girls were really on our case about getting up in the mountains and doing some skiing. (especially miss Ava) So on February 9th we did just that and boy did we pick a great day to go...Solitude had been getting fresh powder for 3 days and we were able to ski on 26" of fresh POW!!! Lucky for us we can hop on a bus a few miles from home and ride it right to the front doors of the resort. The canyon pass was restricted to snow chains and 4WD only and all resorts had NO parking left!!! So the bus made the trip happen.
Solitude had skiing for all of us from the beginner to the experienced!!! Bailey was a champ...all on her own from the beginning...even took on a small bit of a blue run. Ava was VERY excited but when push came to shove she got pretty anxious. She doesn't give up easy so she took on the challenge of the lift and her first run down the mountain. Once completed she was ready to take on the whole mountain, instead we worked on stopping and controlling her speed. Kaylinn was with Brandon most of the time and by the end of the day she was doing great too...however we agree she is in need of a lesson!! My favorite part was having to force them to take a break(meaning we were getting our moneys worth), Brandon got his fun run in during this time, and the girls were ready for more so we stayed till the "last lift" call. Then hopped on the bus and headed for home...it was a great day...the girls cooperated, the weather copperated...everything just fell into place. During these types of days I can't help but bask in the awesomeness of it!!! Our life was SO good that day...and we didn't take it for granted we soaked it all in.
Did I mention all three girls were thanking us when we got home?!?!? #evenbetter And it is always good when they are sleeping on the ride home...extra energy...gone!!!
