Oh My Gosh! These Kids are so dang Cute! They were so excited about their new equipment! They were a little apprehensive about actually using the equipment, but they sure felt cool! The first stab was standing and getting pushed in the parking lot. That seemed to go ok after a little coaching from grandpa. We learned quickly that falling doesn't even hurt.
The next plan was to hit the small bunny hill next to our condo. That actually went Incredibly Well! Kasey and Karsten wanted to continue for hours, but we called it a day and put away the skis to let the boys rest up for the big hill tomorrow!
Time for the big hill! These kids could not be more stoked! They threw on their helmets, got a few tips from Grandpa and Daddy and started downhill. These kids Nailed it! They had such a great time skiing down and we had a great time watching them. Ok, we didn't enjoy dragging them up the hill each time (no lift), but still enjoyed the day and the workout!
It's fun to see the progression. At the start, it was focusing on balance and as they got better; they started shifting their weight to turn. We were all super proud of the boys and they enjoyed skiing and getting more confident every day! We actually got to do 3 days at Steamboat!
What an experience to see the boys enjoy skiing so much. I think they just felt super cool wearing their first lift ticket passes around their necks. This event could have gone either way and we were excited it was a success. Next plan... Ski Lessons!
