Sadie's First Ski Lesson

I had the opportunity to go on a school ski trip with Sadie this year. Our school takes the elementary kids skiing a couple times a year and the price is very affordable! We went to Maverick Ski hill in Montana which is about a 90 minute drive from here. We left at 7 a.m. and got to the ski hill around 8:30. By the time we got all the kids in their gear ready to ski, it was almost time for their lesson. Sadie was on the bunny hill with her class and instructor for the lesson but did really well for her first time. It took here a bit to understand how to maneuver in the skis but I was really proud of her. By the end of the lesson she was snowplowing really good on her own and could get up after she fell. We went to eat lunch after her lesson in the lodge with all her friends. It was fun to visit with the moms and have the girls together for a fun outing. After lunch it was back at it! Sadie couldn't wait to get back on the hill-she very impatiently waited for me to finish my lunch. There were five kids on the bunny hill that just stayed there using the rope tow to go back up the hill and then ski on down. Sadie enjoyed it so much she asked me if we could go everyday! After a full day of skiing though, she was tired and slept most of the way home on the bus. We didn't get home until 5:30 p.m. She slept really well that night, she even snored. I enjoyed having some down time with just Sadie and sharing something I enjoy with her. I look forward to many more ski trips with my kids through the years.
