SKI !!!!

We have had a GREAT time so far, though it has been a real "learning" experience for Luke and me. We have had to learn that "kid skiing" is WAY different than "grown-up skiing". They have a real time limit. They get tired really fast, and trying to carry everyone (and their gear) up the mountain at th same time is not pleasant for anyone. ha ha! But, we finally figured out a system, and everyone is happy.

First we went sledding. Here is a cut pic of Abby and Gracie on the tubing hill.Here is Kate just after getting her lift ticket, ready to carve up the slopes.
Here I am with the two little ones, enjoying some lunch in the lodge.
This is the cutest... Abby and Gracie were both SO tired after the first ski day... I guessed we pushed them too hard! Gracie took almost a two hour nap with me holding her in the lodge, and after Abby came in from her ski lesson, she fell asleep on the lunch table. Gracie was awake by then, so I managed to get a picture of her. Such a sleepy little ski bunny!
We skied for two days, and so I will post some more pics when we get back home. Pray for safe and easy travels tomorrow!!! Back to the real world...

You may be the bravest man and woman I know. Derek and I went skiing with the kids last spring break and it was hard with a 1 to 1parent/child ratio. I don't think I could do it if the small people outnumbered the big people. Looks like you're handling it like a pro!!! Enjoy the rest of your vacation. Gina
