Alright so Chill and I got snow skis last year for Christmas from his parents. When I say last year I mean...2010! We did not go ONCE in 2011. Pathetic I know. To be honest I didn't really push the issue because I have only been skiing ONCE in my life when I was in Jr. High and it was an awful experience. Seriously I wasn't sure I was going to go again. Chill of course said I had to try it out, but somehow the year flew by and no skiing. Well, 2012 is different. Chill was determined for us to go skiing and he made that happen last week. He had the day off and said we should go skiing. We hadn't arranged for a babysitter so that was my excuse. I was talking with my mom and mentioned Chill wanted to ski and she said, "Well hey I can tend the kids." I thought, should I tell Chill or should I not tell Chill....hmmmm big dilema. I decided to tell him and before I knew it we were packed up in the car and on our way to Alta. You know they have the Ski Free after 3 (well for another few weeks they do). It was a beautiful day and I was so super duper nervous but I was also excited. The minute I put on my skis I knew we were in trouble. I was like...wow, these are really slick...Like I'm sliding and I am on flat ground. Yeah I know disaster! Anyway it took me about 10 minutes just to get to the ski lift. I made it on but was not sure how I was going to get off. Now you have to understand I get myself SO worked up over things. Seriously I don't know how Chill handles me. Good news....I made it off the lift in one piece. Bad news....Now I had to make it down the mountain. I did not even dare to move. Well I of course finally did, had a few good falls, went completely out of control a few times, but an hour later I was down the mountain and back on the lift and.... I WAS ALIVE! The second time down was SO much better. There were a few times I looked at Chill and said..."Should I go for it" and off I went . I was ready to go a third time, but our time was up. The free skiing was only from 3-4:30 so I was out of luck. Next time I guess. Now I need a lot more practice but it was so dang fun. I wish so badly that we would have taken a video camera. I am sure it would have been priceless.
We told Carson all about our ski adventure and he wanted to go. Chill got off early Saturday so we headed back to Alta. Of course it was packed because it was Saturday, but that was okay. Carson was pretty excited to have a little tiny pair of skis. Off the boys went and Bailey and I hung out and watched all the skiers. She was good for the first 40 minutes and then she was done with the cold and the snow! She threw quite the tantrum on the way to the car but luckily I could pull the car up close enough that I could take some pictures of Chill and Carson as they made their way down the last hill. Carson was pretty frozen and ready to be done. It was a big hill they tackled for his first time, but he said he would go again. He is too cute!
