365 ~ 2015: Day 57

No fear!  He's skiing the jumps and landed them cleanly.  I imagine soon he's going to want to try to get up on the rails (or whatever they are called!), and I'm not sure how I feel about that!

365 ~ 2015: Day 56

Gorgeous day for skiing!  My confidence is definitely better and it's fun to be able to join the boys on the slopes instead of staying home or sitting in the lodge.  They are amazing to watch...no fear!  They were skiing the terrain parks and going over jumps, skiing moguls and through the paths in the woods and Shaun tried his first black diamond today (albeit by accident!) and he survived!  I'm glad I gave this whole thing a second chance!

365 ~ 2015: Day 54

We braved the bitter cold and headed to the slopes (Gunstock!) for some family skiing!  We started by dropping Evan off at Ski Camp, where he spends the day learning to get comfortable on skis.  He gets lots of instructed skiing time, game time and a lunch.  He loves it!  And we don't have to worry about him while we are doing our thing!

I am still trying to feel comfortable and confident on skis, so I signed up for my own lesson (which ended up being a private lesson since I was the only person there!).  My instructor was really great and I felt really comfortable by the end of the 2 hours.  I skied blues confidently for the first time ever!

That left the other boys to ski at their leisure.  David (aka Bode Miller, Jr.) was dying to try some black diamonds, but Shaun is just not at that level so he would have to wait until after lunch when I met up with them.  Shaun and I went off to ski at our pace and that left David to go off with Dad and be more adventurous!  We rode up together to the summit and went our separate ways!  This is Shaun after we made our way down a bit!  It was fun skiing with him and he would give me tips and warnings when the terrain changed!

365 ~ 2015: Day 53

David getting some serious air at the trampoline place!  They loved this place, especially the orange socks they got to keep!
