Skiing in March

What do you do when the weather is kinda cold and it just snowed about a foot?? You go skiing!!

Ian, Kendra, Lucas and myself went skiing last Saturday with Grandma and Grandpa Feenstra and aunt Jennie. The kids had learned how to ski over Christmas vacation when Uncle Josh and Aunt Megan were home. This time they were able to hone their skills and actually do a pretty good job. Ian loves to ski - he seems to have figured out how to turn and stop and even went on a "black diamond" run with Grandpa. Kendra also seems to have figured it out, but has trouble turning both ways, so gets frustrated and then just falls. Lucas, well, he knows how but decided he didn't want to do it, so he skied between grandpas legs alot and went really fast with grandpa. Over all we had a great time and the kids all say they want to do it again. Oh, Matt and Gavin stayed home...we don't have skis small enough for Gavin...maybe next year he will come!



Grandpa, Lucas, Kendra and Ian.


Lucas loved his goggles...isn't he cute!


Riding up on the lift with grandma and aunt Jennie. Kendra decided that she liked the lift and smiled and talked the whole way up every time.


Ian skiing down the hill...he beat us all up and down the bunny hill...he was ready for the "Big" hills before we even ate lunch!


Aunt Jennie and Kendra "resting." I think Jennie is just trying to deny the fact that she fell!
