This weekend we went to Winter Park. Justin's parents were here, so the kids wanted to show them their "ski skills." We were informed (after we were in Winter Park), that this is the busiest weekend of the ski season. Who knew? I guess the long weekend is everyone's perfect trip to the slopes.
The first day of skiing was warm and sunny. We were still unsure about Drew's ablities, so we took him to ski school. He was not happy about that decision, but we felt it was best.
By the second day, Drew was skiing with us. He did a great job, but he did tire quickly. We were on a blue slope (after about one to two hours of skiing) and he fell. He began to cry and we couldn't calm him. Finally, Justin cradled him in his arms and snowboarded down the mountain. That was the end of the day for Drew. We often forget how much work it is for their little legs and muscles. They work twice as hard as we do to cover the same distance.
Claire and Braden did great! They have really progressed. Braden said he thinks blue slopes are easier. I agree, especially on a day as crowded as Sunday.
All in all, it was a great weekend. We were thrilled to have Nonna and Popa here. We are missing everyone at home, so it was great to have a little Arkansas influence. Nonna cooked some good ol' southern food for us Saturday night. It tasted sooooo good. Especially after a hard day of skiing. "Ain't" nothing better than a good ol' southern meal.
