Ski Lessons!

Brook Mueller called me in January and asked if I would be interested in putting Conner in ski lessons with his buddy Jaxon.  It was only $125 for 5 two hour lessons and it included rentals, plus after their lesson they could stay and ski for free.  Also, I could ski during their class and after with them for $10.  Score!!  I was all about it but wasn't sure if Conner would be.  He had never mentioned skiing before.  So I talked to him about it and he was all about it, in fact all the big kids were.

We made a deal that if they paid half, I would pay half.  They still wanted to do it!  Grandma and Grandpa were a great support and let the kids come over for a few Saturdays and do jobs to earn money.  They earned all their money in 3 weeks!

They started February 13th and have loved every minute of it.  Cassidy ended up having a friend from school in her ski group so she was super excited.  They have stayed late every week skiing!  Total die hards!  I skied with them on Feb. 27th and discovered I am losing all my need for speed in my old age!  Cassidy has it.  She is so fast and flies down the mountain.  Makes me nervous.  Conner and his friend Jaxon are of course little crazy maniacs that are fearless.  Corbin is a great little skier but is definitely a little more cautious, which I appreciate.  I would prefer to not have any accidents happen.  They are already so excited to do it next winter!

I hadn't skied in 15+ years, so I was pretty nervous about skiing with the kids.  I started while they were in class, figured it would be better to practice without them as an audience.  It came back pretty quick, but makes me want to take a few lessons myself.  I do love it.  We had such a fun time skiing together!  It was freezing cold and I had given Corbin my hat because his was soaking wet, but super fun!
