The Winter of "SKI"





This year all the kids learned to ski.  Alex had done some limited skiing last year but was  not proficient at getting down the slope on his own.  This year, with just a few lessons, he has improved so much and is now an independent skier on the beginner slopes!  Cassidy took her first lessons this year and caught on very  quickly - she can now keep up with  her big brother.  It was slow going for Bridgette at first.  She took a few lessons, then we tried to teach her on our own which was very frustrating for probably 3-4 ski days.  We kept plugging along and finally one day she got it!   She stays very close by and sometime we use her vest and belt on the steep areas, but she is our skiing 3 yr old!   It's so much fun to go skiing together as a family :-)
