day 7 - ski day

for christmas this year santa outfitted the family with new skis/snowboards.  today was our first opportunity to try it all out.  although we "lived" mostly on the bunny hill all day - we had a blast!!!!

 old dog/new tricks. dave tried out snowboarding today for the first time.  he and lilly took lessons and both were doing great by the end of the day - way to go!!!
 when i was about 5 years old my uncle bruce brought me to this exact same hill to teach me to ski.  today he taught my boys.  it was so much fun and my cheeks now hurt from all the smiling i did all day watching, remembering, laughing, and making new memories.
 although luke brought home a pretty decent goose egg on his forehead from a big fall - it didn't stop him. 
lilly got a snowboard and after her lesson with daddy she was up and down - up and down all day.  she did get a little discouraged but in the end she didn't let that slow her down but for only a minute.  i am so proud of her - i'm not sure i could have done even a tenth of what she did today.  and more importantly she said she couldn't wait to go out again!!!
