We went on a mini-vacation this past weekend to go skiing up at Whitetail in Pennsylvania. We left Thursday night after dinner and drove up to our hotel. Friday was super windy (gusts of 40+ mph) and so the lifts did not start running until noon - as we discovered when we got there at 9. So we returned to our hotel for some swimming in the pool (where we ended up going Fri, Sat, and Sun!) and lunch at Chick-fil-a. D returned back to the slopes and did his solo skiing. He skied a bunch growing up and was able to ski all of the blacks here even though he had not been skiing since college.
So Saturday we got up early so that we could get a whole day of skiing in. We had made reservations in the child care center for A and B and they seemed to have fun. They did arts and crafts, played, had snack, lunch, and rest time
I have only been skiing once - when I was 12ish- and I am generally not athletic at all. Add to that, the fact that the last time I was on any type of ski (water) I broke my femur and apparently D had extremely low expectations about what I was going to be able to do. Which turned out to be nice as he was extremely impressed with me!! He was super sweet and skied on the little beginner greens with me - actually behind me in case I needed any assistance. We skied the beginner greens and one harder green with a little bit of a blue section. It was a fun day even though my calf muscles are still killing me.
So D is making me post this video of me skiing.

I was just telling Jared that there is no pain like the first night after skiing pain.
Wow! I am impressed! Look out Olympics 2014!!
OK - so great job skiing - can't wait til you get the girls on skis. We went to Sun Valley because we like trying out new places and it was fantastic. Trey and I are going to Whistler in April (by ourselves:)
