On New Years Day, we headed east to find some snow in the Lake Tahoe area and do a few days of skiing. Dan got me my first pair of skis for Christmas and Emma was really excited to ski again.
Everyone skied this year. Even Ian! Emma went to 3 days of ski school and Ian went to 2 days of ski school.
Our goal with Ian (our cautious child) was for him to just have a good time and not cry when with these big boots and sticks stuck to his feet. Mission Accomplished!
Although he did not learn any real skills, he had a great time, especially when Daddy took him up on the "big hill"

Ian also spent a lot of time like this:
At least he had a big smile on his face
Pretty much the only time Ian cried was when we had to give back his skis and boots.
Emma once again amazed us with her ability and adventuresome spirit. After three days of ski school, she is now skiing Intermediate (and some difficult) hills. On the last day of class her instructor took the class through the trees and a little place called "The Ditch of Doom". Emma loves skiing and says this was the best vacation ever (better even that Disneyland and Hawaii). Here are just a few pictures and one movie of her success.
A little blurry, but one of my favorite pictures of the fun she was having

We had a wonderful time and will be heading back out for more ski time in two weeks.
