I had my first and probably last ski day of this season today with my daughter, Jill, and her two boys, Jared, 9, and Justin, 6. The day started out bright and sunny, but by around 10 a.m. it was snowing hard and that snow turned into icy pellets flying through the air. The weather drove me inside a time or two, but Jared and Justin kept their mom going all day.
We also got to ski some with my son-in-law, Brandon, my grandaughter, Hope, and Brandon's dad, stepmom and his two little brothers who are visiting them here from Albuquerque.
I am tired and I will be sore, but it was a very fun day.
Getting ready is the hard part
The big smile on Jill's face is there because I landed on my bum trying to take this picture. She would have been laughing even harder if she had seen how long it took me to get up. She accused me of using picture taking as an excuse to take a break (and she was right)

In action
We all got together at the top of the lift with the snow coming down sideways.
I should have had Jill take a picture of me in action. You'll have to take my word for it, I was good.....or at least I didn't come home with any broken bones.
Looks like fun! I hoped for one more snowfall here, but that's not the case. Hope you quickly got into a hot bath with candles and wine and all of the good things that moms need after a long hard day!
ReplyDeleteWonderful pictures! Thanks for sharing!
Great pictures! Thanks for going with us. The boys had a great time! Love, jill
ReplyDeleteI am glad you had so much fun! They will always remember this special trip!!
ReplyDeleteHurray for snow and fun and no broken bones...
ReplyDeleteI have never been skiing except for once as a kid on a dry ski slope... my brother told everyone I fell over but thankfully the pictorial evidence told everyone he was lying!! Great shots :0)
ReplyDeleteLove love love the photos! Especially the sideways snow ones. It can't be that easy maneuvering a camera while skiing! You done good, Jeanie. So glad a fun time was had by all. What an excursion!
ReplyDeleteIt looks like a blast - and with those two handsome young men along, well that was not only icing on the cake. I'm sure they could've saved you had you needed it.
ReplyDeleteIt's it at once fabulous and vexing that kids adapt so well to sports?
I'm your newest follower, Jeanie. It seems as though I'd neglected to do that...and I'm here every day! ;)
I sure bet a few sore muscles and bum were worth the happy memories you made on this ski trip. I love the pics of your little ski dudes. I'm so glad ya'll are home safe and sound.
ReplyDeleteGod bless and have a marvelous Monday, sweetie!!!
What an awesome grandma you are to participate in this! And what wonderful memories you'll all have. You should get some of those special memory albums of your photos for everybody, or put them on a digital frame.
ReplyDeleteAs one of those college spring-break skiers, back in the day, I am duly impressed! And a little envious, I must admit... So glad you enjoyed yourself!
ReplyDeleteSo glad you had a great time and you didn't break anything. Nice photos too. You are amazing.
ReplyDeleteI'm secretly glad I was forced to stay at home this trip. The blowing snow is just no fun! The kids definitely enjoyed themselves, though! :)
ReplyDeleteYou can ski! Wow I am so impressed. That is something I was never able to do. Don't make any excuses for this just BRAG!
ReplyDeleteLooks like lots of fun! I'm never going to be a ski bunny...I get altitude sickness. So I'm always the one holding down the fort back at the lodge...
ReplyDeleteYou're a brave one! I have never liked going downhill fast on anything, but now that I'm on the other side of 50, there is no way I'm gonna change now! It looks like you had a good day with all of your family. Lots of smiles in those pictures.
ReplyDeletevery happy not to see any casts. glad you had lots of fun.

My husband and kids ski but I've never even tried it. It looks like you all had a great day together.
