Skiing!!

This past weekend the kids had off 1/2 a day on Thursday, Friday and Monday. So we thought that we would go up to Michigan skiing. The trip started out a little rough. Mom volunteered to watch Penny for the weekend so we had to drop her off. For some reason the car ride didn't agree with her and she threw up 3 times on the way - once all over Ryan!! Yuck!! (we didn't tell mom that). After dropping her off and getting the car cleaned out, the rest of the trip went pretty well.
Leah was very excited about skiing. She had two hours of lessons Friday morning to learn the basics and then off she went. She skied the "big hill" very well and was pretty happy. Here she is posing with my poles. She didn't understand why she couldn't have "handles".

Here is a photo of Ryan at the top of a hill ready to go down. He had a lot of fun over the weekend. We were skiing with two other couples so there were 5 kids running and playing together.
