We've lived here how long???

So, kids that grow up in Utah are expected to know how to ski, right? We finally broke down after 7 YEARS and enrolled them (Kennady and Spencer, anyway who were off track- Austin had to stay in school) in some ski lessons. Park City has a great deal for locals for only $25, which includes a 3 hour lesson, equipment and a ski pass. Kennady wasn't too sure about the whole thing and kinda had to get talked into it, but afterwards said, "That was soooo much fun! Can we go again tomorrow?" Oh no, we've created a very expensive little monster!


There were only 2 kids in Kennady's class, so they got some great one on one instruction.

Spencer opted for snowboarding rather than skiing and did really well.

By the end of the lesson, Kennady was totally skiing. Pretty amazing how quickly kids pick things up.
Cydnee and I had a great afternoon in the sun watching all the skiiers. We found a bench in front of the National Ability Center and met several blind skiiers and 2 or 3 paraplegics. One guy had barely missed the cutoffs for the Paralympics and was so fascinating to talk to. Cydnee kept busy with her portable DVD player, lots of snacks and her snow angels in the snow.

How fun! I so wish we could have had Jess join Kennady! Maybe next year. Cydnee looks so cute. I can't believe you guys are headed out of the cold soon and get to enjoy so many days in paradise. Have the time of your lives! Love you guys!

I can't beleive how much Spencer looks like a little Austin in that picture....they are growing up way too fast. We need to get the kids on the same track so we can all go together next year.

So much fun. Isn't it crazy the things we take for granted. People come from all over the world to see parts of San Juan County that I have never been to in my 30 years of living here. Good job on getting the kids out to try something new.
