Yesterday I took both kids skiing at different times. It's so awesome living so close to so many ski resorts. First I took Megan while Luke was in school. Then, as soon as Luke was out of school, Keith met me at the base of the canyon and we traded kids. Megan had a great time but was totally content to be done after an hour and a half. Luke could have skied all day and was sad to leave. Both kids are just learning to ski. I can't quite figure out how to teach them to turn and stop yet. I guess that will come with practice, but I'd love teaching tips if anyone has some good ones. Fortunately both kids kept smiles on any time they fell. Sometimes they even fell on purpose.
We got season rentals from Canyon Sports this year. You get to keep the ski equipment at your house all season. I love that. I just couldn't justify buying the kids their own equipment to grow out of each year so this is a great option for us.
We are going to spend most of our time at Alta this year. Alta has a free tow rope all day and a free chair lift from 3:00 to 4:30 every day. I love that i can pack up my stuff, leave my house, drive to the resort, gear up, ski, gear down, and drive home in just three hours. Very cool. Later in the season we'll head to Snowbird a couple times too. Keith got us some passes there :) If anyone ever wants to meet us for skiing, let me know. I'd be willing to go almost any day between 3 and 4:30 and we would love some ski pals.

April,
I read your blog from google reader and I just love it! I wanted to say thank you. Yours was the first digi-scrapping class that I ever took. I even had your sister come over to my house and teach me a one on one lesson. Not to brag, but I now consider myself an expert. Digi-scrapping is my creative outlet and passion! Anyway, I admire you and I love reading your blog! It's a great way to document your life-I need to post on my blog more often like you do
Thanks again!!!
Oh, by the way, I love the Santa Claus Lane Christmas Kit and your page with it is adorable!
Thanks annamarie! You are so nice to post here.
I wanna meet you! Dave will never go skiing with me. He won't even TRY it. I wish I had my own equipment though, it just takes too long to go to the rental store and get fitted every time.
Keith won't try it either. Maybe it's something the Pope blood. Emily I would LOVE to meet you at the ski resort sometime. Just say the word.
