Thank you Grandma and Grandpa for the ski tickets. We were able to take our family out to Loveland 2 days. We are kind of beggers when it comes to winter attire. The Brittner family generously lent us most of the kids snow clothing, along with a very fashionable Roxy snow clothes from aunt Kristin. Mine and Blakes stuff are ancient, but who cares. Then we spent quite a bit of time getting all the rental skis and boots....but totally worth all of it. The first day, Devon only had to use the harness for one and a half runs....then he thought he was a master. He only went out of control a few times. I'm sure all the skiiers that day could hear me yelling, "do your s turns Devon", as he rocketed down the hill at one point. Devon and Chantelle loved skiing with Paige,Steph and Emily.
Not far into the second day, my legs began yelling at me. My skiing muscles were not used to the effort of 2 days in a row. The second day we enjoyed skiing with Mike Bullock and his family. The older 5 girls I'm sure will always remember getting stuck half way down a black diamond run and having to slide down the rest of the way. At the beginning of one run, Dev turned to me and said, "Mom, I was born to do this". Not at all confident is he. What a memorable day...and no broken bones.
