Sundance!

The boys and I have gone up to Sundance a few times in the last couple weeks. It is great since the Bunny Hill is free and it is a great, little (yes, little) hill to learn on.

Bensen's first time skiing was this year. He picked it up really fast too! I even think he enjoyed himself most of the time. Asher remembered quickly, and then I remembered how he ski's...like a bat out of! I remembered quickly that he doesn't care so much about turning. He just wants to go straight down and pass people as he does it. ( I totally get that).

Sking btw is a great workout, but teaching little kids to ski has to bump up the calorie expenditure by 200 calories. It's not easy carrying a kid and holding on to the rope-tow at the same time...

Bensen skied on these ski's...



This is not as easy as it looks



Soo much fun :)



Oh and just to make it clear....yes we are a snowboarding family. But for some reason Cory INSISTS that the boys learn to ski first. I honestly don't understand it, but since I love him I am going along with it. But next year we will BOARD!!! :)

Loves,
Jill

I can not get over how adorable those two boys are hugging in the snow all bundled up!!! Such fun times!! My girls could be having fun too if only I could even remotely like being out in snow....I think I will just leave the hills to you guys!!

Seriously, little bensen in those butt tight pants is so dang adorable I can't even handle it! I am so glad you guys love to ski, and even more glad that you love to board. Maybe when Trace gets a real job and we have money we can join you guys. I love snowboarding!!!

Brandon says our kids have to learn to ski first, also!

Looks like a lot of fun! I love how true to his character Asher is in everything he does!
