We started early in the morning and set out for the mountain. It was snowing lightly which only added to the excitement. We got all the equipment situated and fitted, ate a quick lunch at the car we had pre-packed and off we went. Kevin and I were together but each of the kids were separated into their own age group and in their own lesson. The lessons only had 5 people per group and lots of one on one.
As Kevin and I were in our lesson, which seemed like such a slower pace than either of us wanted Lexie's group kept coming by and we could shout encouragement she had passed us like 3 times before we even had two skiis on yet. Kids pick this up so fast. Zach started in a lesson one and they said when he comes back to sign him up for lesson 4. Carson did great and moved up a spot and Lexie did great and moved up a spot.
After the lessons the place seemed to be deserted and night skiing had started and our passes were still valid, so we went up the lift with the kids and enjoyed watching all the new things they had learned. Lexie surprised Kevin and I the most she absolutely loved it and probably would have stayed the longest. She did fabulous and really picked it up fast. She keeps asking if she can go again next weekend.
The best part of the whole day was that it was an adventure that we all did together as a family. Kevin and I are enjoying this stage of our family where we can really start to do things we enjoy as a family, and we are able to try new things which lead to new adventures.
Thanks to our great friends Kelli and Kelcy who shared the info and the day with us.

Ok, so you have to tell me how to go about getting this deal for $25 That looks like so much fun, I have lived here my whole life too and have never skied or anything.
Yup...You're a better woman than I. Give me a book and some hot cocoa and I'm great. Put me in the snow...not so much.
Plus, I'd break something. Seriously.
I sorta envy your adventurous side. But then...I like being warm.
