maria's first ski trip

ethan took maria skiing last night, and boy, did she have a great time! when she got home she was all smiles and excitedly told me about her teacher, learning to put the skis in french fry or pizza formation, riding the "elevator" up to the top of the hill, going into the "big log cabin" to have hot cocoa, going fast down the hill, and she even had fun on the ride home because she and ethan were listening to music really loud and, as she put it, "dad would sing the boy parts and i would sing the girl parts". so cute.

ethan was amazed at how well she did and how long she was able to ski for. she skied until closing time!

our little skier.


riding the "magic carpet" up to the top of the hill.


going down the hill all by herself!


maria with her ski instructor. i love the face she is making.

she had such a great time i know she will be back on the mountain the next opportunity she has. maria was fortunate to have such an awesome dad there to be with her every step of the way. he didn't even plan on doing any skiing his self that night, being totally focused on maria and helping her. what a great dad to give her this opportunity and let it totally be for her.

Wow, Maria! You are better than me at downhill skiing because I have never even been once. It looks like you had a lot of fun!
