Saturdays are for Skiing!!!

Mike & the girls have been skiing every Saturday in January. The girls took some ski lessons at Snowbasin resort. This resort is kind of a neighborhood hang-out as they run into half the neighborhood every week! There was even a 'tailgating' party set for this Saturday with everyone from the neighborhood, but then the weather turned crazy. Brandon and I were going to come up and join everyone for lunch, but we'll have to do it when it gets rescheduled. Mike wants Brandon to start skiing and we need him to see what it's all about. Utah has a great program for 5th and 6th graders which gives them 3 free passes to each resort in the state! Now that lessons are over, Mike is going to take Amanda to check out some of the other great resorts.
Mike got a couple of pictures of Sydney one week.....cute little Syd-Syd!


Amanda has been doing great and loves, loves, loves skiing. Sydney has been doing great, too, but she doesn't really love staying all day...can you say lodge? Mike has been able to ski while they are in lessons and then spend the rest of the day with the girls. This week he was loving the new powder! I told him last week, that the girls are going to remember skiing with their Dad and it will be one of their favorite memories of childhood.

Would you believe that I've lived in Utah since I was 4 years old but have NEVER been skiing? How sad is that??

Oh heavens the snow was amazing Saturday!! We have passes to Powder Mtn so one of the days you guys need to meet us up there so we can get our kiddies to ski!! If you want - we can take Becks and Brandon up to Wolf Mtn and have them learn for free on that little magic carpet - Becks loved it last week. I'm going to try and get him up there again soon, so come with me!
