Ski Bunnies

We get to add another first to our list of Camp Clark adventures - LTD took their very first downhill snow skiing lesson today at Hyland Hills. To put it in their words, it was "awesome", "amazing", "so cool", "super fun"......I think you get the drift. They absolutely loved it! Those squirts have absolutely no fear and had a complete blast! What a riot watching those little bodies maneuver and come down that bunny hill with smiles plastered on their faces from ear to ear.

Dave and I had to partake in a mandatory parent meeting for about 15 minutes or so and when we came out to continue to cheer them on, here Taylor had already advanced to the next level! Our Little Peanut (Crash Kemmet II) was moved to the next class due to her "advanced skills" according to the instructor. Dave and I burst out laughing because she is typically "accident prone". Not this time! Dylan and Lindsey weren't far behind and were advanced as well about 15 minutes later which they were really happy about. Next lesson, they get to try out the chair lift which should be very interesting. Let's hope they don't fall off the ski lift like their mom did in high school at Red Lodge, MT!

Dave and I are super excited to ski with our little munchkins in the next few weeks to prepare for our ski trip coming up. In March, we are headed to Lutsen for a 4-day weekend. We rented a ski-in/ski-out condo complete with an outdoor hot tub and an outdoor heated pool. We cannot wait! The kiddos are even more excited and are looking forward to their next few lessons before they "tackle the mountains" :) What a great sport to be able to share with our kiddos.
