Skiers

We gave the girls ski lessons for their birthday since they loved their lesson last year and had been begging to go again.  This time it's a 4 week lesson, and they teach us how to teach them.  There is a great little training hill for kids about a 1/2 hour from us, so we thankfully don't have to bother with the big VT ski resorts.  The first lesson was akin to torture for everyone...there was a lot of crying (them) and a lot of soreness (us).  But this week we were ready!  Not a single tear, and Hailey has pretty much surpassed every kid in the class.  (And my ability to ski backwards is also much improved.)  Two more lessons to go; these guys will be off the bunny slope and on to bigger and better by the end!
