Today we woke up super early to head to the ski hill! We took the oldest five to Canyon and taught them how to ski. Camilla was the only one who had been skiing before, so I was a little bit nervous!
The sunrise was beautiful and the children were all super excited!
Excitement turned to discouragement as they struggled to get their skis on, and then get to the crazy carpet. But with some encouragement and perseverance, we managed to get everyone going down the bunny hill.
Oliver caught on super quickly and was so brave! He would practically ski straight down the bunny hill! One time as he was going down the steep part at the top of the T Bar, he flew over the edge and into a bunch of trees. By the time I was able to get down to him a kind man skiing by had popped off his skis and made his way through the trees to check on him. Thankfully nothing broken or hurt, but he was definitely a little more cautious the next time.
I hardly saw the older three once they got going. They took the chair lift and explored the big hills. Every once and a while they would come find us and tell us of their adventures. Once or twice, Camilla offered to keep an eye on Fin and Ollie while Mr. Stannix and I took the lift and did the big hills.
It was so fun to spend the day together on the ski hill! We are super grateful to Gramma and Grampa for watching Sawyer and Lily for the day so that we could have this experience together! Hopefully this can become something we do every year!
