Ski Adventure

 During Spring Break, Josh took a day off work so that we could take the boys skiing for the first time!  This is something we had been wanting to do for awhile now, especially since Ronan has started showing interest in learning to ski with daddy.  We rented skis the day before and borrowed some gear from our friends, the Kecks, so we were all set!  We decided to go to Hoodoo since they have a great setup for kids.  There is a short chairlift to a bunny slope that is perfect for kids to learn on.  (It was free for both boys and only $19 for adults for the easy rider lift.)
 All suited up & ready to hit the slopes!

Josh & Ronan skiing!!
Ronan and Griffin both did SO great!  They learned really fast and gained confidence with each run.  As long as Griffin's skis were pointed down the hill he was just fine. (:  Ronan definitely picked up on more technique and figured out how to turn and stop.  I have videos of both of them that I will try to post soon!

Taking a break for hot chocolate-- not that we needed to warm up!  It was so warm outside that Josh took our coats, hats, & gloves to the car.
