Ski Trip '09

Clare, Daniel, Sara (Clare's friend), and I took advantage of a day off from school yesterday to go skiing in southwestern PA. It was a great trip - if you take away the typical "battles" with an almost 12 yr. old. Both kids are getting much better at skiing. There were no lessons. Clare and Sara skiied most of the day by themselves. Daniel was stuck with me. :) He is such a speed demon (mainly because he doesn't know how to stop once he gets going.) I'm always trying to catch up with him. The temperature was probably our biggest obstacle - I don't think it got above 15 degrees. The slopes were in great shape with 3 inches of new snow and there were no lines for the lifts. What more could we ask for?? I definitely slept well when we got home and warmed up. BONUS: an hour delay for school today = more sleep!
Clare and Sara - ready to hit the slopes again - literally!
Daniel was really bundled up. Here he is on the lift.
