We went up to Winter Park for the day to ski. The boys took a half day lesson, so Justin and I got in a few runs on our own. The mountains have gotten a ton of snow, so the skiing was great and the boys had a lot of fun too.
They were the only two kids in their lesson, so they got a lot of one-on-one time with the instructor. They went on the chair lift and skied the green runs.
It was a beautiful day in the mountains...I heart Colorado (even when our team doesn't bring home the Vince Lombardi Trophy)!
When we picked them up, the boys wanted to show us what they had learned. Word on the street is that Morgan E. likes nothing better than to point his skis straight down the hill and let 'em go! This should not surprise me in the least!
Jacoby is more cautious and controlled (thank goodness one of them is!) and he's ready to start making turns, etc.
Did I mention that Morgan thought he was going to be taking ski jumping lessons?! Guess I know what we'll be watching on the Olympics! They were pretty whipped by the end of the lesson.
In other news, the boys sleep together on the weekends. They are still crazy about Legos and incorporate them into all aspects of their play. School is going really well for both. Jacoby just started the 18th Junie B. Jones book (she's now a first grader too!). We finished up Freckle Juice and are reading Paddington Bear together. I think we'll move back into the world of Roald Dahl this spring.
I had a terrific birthday. The boys spoiled me with picture frames they painted, a cactus, a laser level (sweet!), flowers, and a lovely dinner. They made the day very special.
