Downhill skiing

Due to getting a fresh coat of snow we decided to go downhill skiing. This was the first time I went with the crew. It was a ton of work getting everyone dress, boots on, hats/mittens, etc. But, once we got on the hill it was a beautiful day. We didn't get any pics of Ben since he was gone as soon as his skiis hit the snow. It amazes me how he can go down the biggest hill with no poles. Max is a little more tentative (like his mom) and needs Jeremy by his side every second, but he also did well for only being 6. Then there is Maddie...this girl has no fear. She is a true natural. She was going down the hill and snowplows to stop. She was so much fun to watch. What a little peanut out on the slopes!



First...we needed to shovel..
