We finally got a chance to take the kids skiing!! M and I had not been in 14 years so it was past due that we made a trip to the mountains!
We drove up last night and stayed in a hotel about 20 minutes from the mountain. We checked in and ate dinner at Outback(possibly another first for the kids!) and then got settled in to rest up for a big day!
Today we got up and ate breakfast next door at Bob Evans and were at the slopes at 8:30am to drop the kids off for their all day ski school! Then it was our turn to get suited up with boots and skis and hit the slopes! M kept telling me it was like riding a bike, but I started going down the little hill to get to the lift and about busted it!
But, as the day went on, we did get a lot more comfortable and M ended up doing the black diamonds but I just stuck to the blues:) Such a fun "date day" on the slopes!
About 3pm, I had pretty much had my fill of skiing so we rested for a bit before picking the kids up from ski school at 3:45pm! They were so excited and so proud of all they'd learned - and so were we! They weren't ready to be done yet! So, M took them up to the top of the mountain and they skied blues all the way down and did amazing! Such accomplishment and growth in just one day!
We drove home tonight and got home about 10:30pm tired, happy and already planning our next trip - hopefully out west next year!

| May be the closest I ever get to getting back to the Outback...LOL! |
 |
| Never a dull moment with these two! |
 |
| Here we go! |
 |
We spied our little skiers getting on the chair lift - not gonna
lie, my heart skipped watching them go up! |
 |
| On the lift with M for one last run! |

| Skiing is exhausting, but so fun! |
