We went up to Loveland today along 3 other families. Matt and I took turns skiing while the other one watched Whitney. Nathan took his first lesson and LOVED it. He did just a half day since we were late (traffic!!!) but it was a perfect first experience. When it was over, he asked his instructor if he could buy his skis. He had a great time. If asked his least favorite thing, he responded that it was hard to make his way over to the magic carpet and that sometimes he slid back while riding up it. But if asked his favorite thing, "going fast down the mountain". I think he'll be beating us down the hill in a couple years.
Whitney had fun hanging out and being pulled on the sled. It snowed all day but the cold didn't seem to bother the kids.
Oh,and one of the best parts, Matt was able to get all the passes and lesson for FREE!!
March 29th.
We had an amazing opportunity to take a little vaca to Durango. Matt had a connection who hooked us up with an amazing ski in/ski out condo. It was really nice, we enjoyed the game room, hot tub, outdoor heated pool and just some R&R. Nathan had one full day lesson and thought it was great fun. A long drive, but it was nice to be in that area, for our first time ever!
April 10th.
One last ski trip. We went up to Monarch for the day. We took Zak while Sam watched Whitney for us. Nathan and Zak both got 2&1/2 hour private lessons!!! Matt and I had a great time skiing together on some super fast demo skis. The snow wasn't great but always fun to ski somewhere you've never skied before. Nathan went on the lift to the bunny slope for the first time at the end of his lesson. Then we were able to take him up several times and help him down. He's doing really well; too bad we have a huge break now until he goes again. It's really awesome watching him learn a new skill and especially to see his excitement! (and Whitney loved her day playing with Vanden)
