Since the kids were out of school in January this year, Aaron and I decided to book the condo in Eden, UT and take our kids skiing at Wolf Mountain. Aaron is great skier and Adam has gone snowboarding a few times last year, but, Abbi, Alex, and I had never been. I know, you grow up in Utah and you are expected to ski "The Greatest Snow On earth." But, I had never been, except the time before we were married and Aaron took me up to Park City. I went down twice and called it good. Anyway, we took the kids to Wolf Mountain and signed them all up for ski lessons; even me!
Adam was a natural, before I knew it, the instructor had him up the lift and going down the bunny hill. He is pretty impressive!
What a stud!
Alex and Abbi did a great job also. After two days of lessons, they too were heading up the lift and cruising down the bunny hill. They couldn't get enough of it. It was so fun to watch them ski down the hill. I, on the other hand, did not take to skiing as well. After my lesson, Aaron convinced me to go down the bunny hill. It freaked me out. I basically came down the hill on my butt. After that, I took off my skis and sat in the lodge for the rest of the afternoon. Aaron still has hopes of getting me to be a ski bunny, but honestly, I enjoyed sitting in the lodge reading my book. Maybe some day, but today was not that day!
This little getaway was so much fun! It was so relaxing and we all enjoyed spending time together. The kids didn't fight and they loved skiing! They can't wait to go again!

Wow! What a fun winter vacation! I tried skiing once, too. My experience was just the same as yours. I also spent most of my time falling down and ended up in the lodge. I'm really impressed with how easy the kids caught on to this. What a great way to spend time together as a family!
I am so impressed that the kids did so well! They look like naturals out there. You're better than I am, I've never been AT ALL....maybe someday!
