Utah Ski Adventure
Every year for the past 10 years or more, Mimi and Papa Guy treat us to a Utah ski trip. Since Ava, has been born we've anticipated the day when she can finally strap on a pair of skis. This year was finally the year! It's so hard to believe that Ava is old enough to ski and old enough to have her own seat on the plane. She did great on both the 4 hour plane ride to and from Utah. She was so excited, she strapped herself right in and got settled for the long flight.
She was a little apprehesive on going to the Childcare Center, but she quickly warmed up when they told her that it was about to be snack time. While she played in the Alta Children's Center, we hit the slopes.
Utah, has been getting pounded with snow and the first day was no exception as we found ourselves in white out conditions and knee deep in powder.
After a long day of skking, we got Ava out of the childcare center, and let her play in the snow while we warmed up with the best hot chocolate.


You can tell how cold and windy it was at 13,000 feet from this picture below.

As the trip went on, the temp warmed up from 13 degrees to a very warm 33 degrees the last day.


The second day, Ava finally got to have her Pre-Ski lesson with miss Haley. Nick and I watched from a distance. She did so well and was very cooperative. For those of you who know Ava well...she doesn't do ANYTHING she doesn't want to do, so it was a relief that she even put on the skiis.

She looked so small in the ski's and squealed when Haley let her go down the bunny hill. We were so proud of her and can't wait for her to take a private lesson next year.



We had a wonderful trip, and it was great to get away. A big special thank you to Mimi and Papa for a wonderful trip. We are so thankful for you both, and we love you!
