Wednesday was our last family ski trip for this season. It was a beautiful day with temperature of at least 7 degrees ( I think it was actually warmer than that????) We had a fun filled day and we all skied for 11 hours. We broke down over the last couple of days and picked up the kids skis (they were for Christmas) so they were excited to have their own equipment! We got home last night at 10:00pm and the kids weren't long getting to sleep.
Blake and Kohl with their new skis on for the first time!
Kohl taking his practice run down the bunny hill before I would let him on the platter lift.
We signed Blake up for his $30.00 1 hour ski lesson with Ruth.Worth every penny and I was going to pay for another hour for him but Ruth had him on the platter lift and down his first hill by the end!

Blake's first run down the partridge pass! He was some proud of himself!!!!
Blake heading up the lift...now the worse part of this is that if ( and I mean when) he falls of this lift it means either walking back down the hill or walking the rest of the way to the top... and I made a fair share of trips walking with him but by the end of the night I think he was getting tired of the walking and decided to ride the lift all the way to the top! Thank God!!!

Check out the face....LOLBlake wasn't impressed with me here...
After a long walk UP the hill after he fell of the platter lift I was in need of a rest.....
But he wanted to get going.
Matt and Blake making a run down the Pass!Great job Blake :0)
Trinity's first run down the Chickadee...this hill is a bit steeper then the pass!
Trinity's first run down the Chickadee...this hill is a bit steeper then the pass!and of course she handled it with no problems.
Blake and Matt sticking together
Jay helped me coach Trinity and Kohl down the lower Red Tail hill. This one is a bit bigger and steeper. This hill is actually the bottom part of one of the chair lift hills which is their last step before getting their chair lift pass next season. God help me then, they will have the run of the hills. They both handled this hill awesome as well and by they end of the day were doing it themselves and yes they were some proud of themselves.
Kohl coming to the bottom of the lower Red Tail.
Jay and Trin on the lower Redtail
Blake was amazed witht he jumps and is determined to ski this hill when he gets older....and I wouldn't be surprised if he does.
Heading back to the lodge for a break.

Night skiing and her come Trinity and Kohl alone down the lower redtail.They really enjoyed skiing at night with the lights. By this time Jay was braving the chair lift hills on his own so we didn't see too much of him. However they know that they have to check in with us every so often.
Was that a fall Kohl????
Matt and Blake's last run on the pass. I did take Blake on the Chickadee once but it was getting colder and the hill was getting a bit icy so we will try that one again next season.
Packing up to go home...I think someone is getting tired.
New skis! 
Wow, that was one full 11 hour day at the hill and we enjoyed every minute of it.
