Saturday at 8am I loaded up the nerd heard and we headed up to the ski resort called Eagle crest. (It is one of our favorites if you want to see the resort) So along the way, I thought I would take a picture of this frozen harbor. What a sight!
The temperature had rose to 31 degrees today and there was very little snowfall and wind. I was glad it wasn't stinking freezing because this was Morgans first time skiing. She didn't know what to think at first and mentioned to me that she was scared...that isn't what you want to hear. So, we walked up this small hill to meet at the ski school and right away, this friendly man in his 50's walked up to Morgan and took her by her hand, The man had a big smile on his face the whole time which made Morgan a little more comfortable. Then, too my surprise, he swung her up and carried her.

I sat and watched her for a while and she was enjoying herself and learning. The instructors said she did really good and can go down by herself pretty straight.
This is the perfect age to do lessons. They learn they can accomplish something and how if feels to try new things. It's exciting that soon we will be able to do it together!
Trey decided he wanted to spend his own money on a lesson. I paid for one last week and I didn't want to pay for another because they are 40.00 each. His lesson was with some young snowboarder named Trevor. I walked by his lesson and overheard Trey trying to get the instructor to take him inside for free hot cocoa. Now, this would have been fine, except the lesson just started 10 minutes before! Of course, I'm a mom so I yell out to the instructor not to take him in for hot cocoa until he can make it down the hill twice.

I can't believe how big he is getting! He is growing up and soon will be a teenager! I can't wait because then we can really snowboard together but he is going to be better than me. That is weird to think of...him better than me...man.
On our way home, we saw this porcupine walking down the road! How cool.

That is soo cool - first love the pic of the frozen harbor..really something you just dont see everyday. Second = Trey and Morgan are just too cute for words. You are such a good mom to take them to the snow so many times. You all are building a great bond.Priceless. Give em all a hug from auntie Karrie!
These are some great shots. I thought I had commented earlier about them, but I guess not. Love the harbor and the ones of Morgan and Trey posing. So cute.
