Little Ski Bunnies

We did it! We took the kiddos to Bogus Basin to try skiing. My sweet friend let us borrow her boots and ski and we figured both the girls could use them. WRONG. They both had total meltdowns, crying and screaming on the hill. Doug and I were like, "Awesome, we drove up here and now we get to just go right home." But we thought we'd have them try some boots and skis on in the rental shop and see how it went. The minute they tried those on they were happy as can be and really excited! So we tried again. They had a blast. Allie did really well and this is a great age for her to start. Katelyn didn't understand why we had to help her. She was ready to just do it all herself...yikes! We'll wait a few years for her to go again! We are glad we tried it even though it was crazy. Hope to make skiers out of our girls so it can be a fun wholesome family activity we can all enjoy someday.
A beautiful day at Bogus Basin
"I hate these shoes."
Imagine screaming...
Hating it but can't help but smile because it really is fun even if it hurts!
She quit and did snow angels instead!
Allie all ready to go!

She did awesome!
Katelyn on the Magic Carpet
Katelyn had a hard time staying with Doug so he had to pick her up!
Wiped out!
This was a sweet moment I caught!
Happy to be free!
Super proud of herself
All done. We all survived!
Cambree slept the entire time! What a sweet little babe.
