We are Skiing!

We decided that this would be the year for the skiing.  We asking Luke and he said he was all in.  Number two caught wind and was having no part of being left out.  SO, daddy found the closest kids ski program, we got the kids set up with yearly rentals and off to ski school we went. 
 
Luke took to it right away.  He loved it and did great.  On the third week, he was on the magic carpet, even made it to the "big" magic carpet at the end of the lesson.  Lesson four he was on the bigger practice hill the entire hour and a half.  He really loves it and did great.  Although he lessons are over, we look forward to getting him more practice this season. 
 
As much forward progress as Luke made, Paige was almost going backwards...if you can do that.  The first two lessons she was OK.  She started to go downhill (not literally unfortunately!) toward the end of the third lesson when we looked over and she was laying on the snow sprawled out refusing to take part in anything her instructor was doing.  Going into lesson four, we knew it might be touch and go.  She lasted about 23 minutes before she was toast.  Better luck next year Paige!
