One of my New's Years resolution was to take Mckay and Ellie skiing. So one gorgeous Saturday I took them skiing at Sundance. We couldn't have asked for a better day. We hiked up to the bunny hill started skiing. Ellie wanted to go first. I had taken her skiing last year for the first time and she was really excited to go again. She was also a great support to McKay. Ellie is so brave and really did a great job. She has the idea with the french fries and pizza pie. She can stop and start all by herself. 
She made is all the way down the hill without dad's help.
She had such a great time and I loved every minute of it. I think she did too.
Mckay's turn. He was so brave to do this. He is not one for trying new things unless it is fun. Mandy and I told him how fun it was and Ellie helped to. So here we go!
Standing in line for the rope tow. McKay was smiles the entire time. I was so proud of him.
Hold On!!
Ellie was having a great time playing in the snow while I was skiing with McKay. I love the look on her face.
Way to go McKay! You are skiing. He didn't want me to let go of his hands, but when I did he did great. He really caught on to the french fry, pizza pie concept. For Mckay this is huge. I can't wait to get him up on the slopes again. I'm so impressed.
Ellie and dad on the second run up.
Ellie wanted to hang on all by herself, but the rope tow was to hard to hang on to. Nice try!
Ellie was awesome! She really is a natural at skiing. She is working on her pizza pie.
McKay's second run down. I really wanted to see if he could go by him self, and he said that he wanted to try. So as we were skiing down, I wanted to have some fun with him. So as we were practicing his pizza pie, I wanted him to keep his arms up and so I had him make a growl like a T-Rex dinosaur. He thought that was so funny, but it worked, and he was skiing all by himself and loved to stop and growl. I have a video of this, but it didn't down load, I will have to try again. Again, I'm so impressed with McKay and Ellie, I love you both so much.
The kids and I only did two runs each, but the most important thing is that they had a great time, and they both want to go again. I love both of you so much and can't wait to go skiing again with both you of. I'm also very impressed with how brave McKay was, and how Ellie never lost the technique. Thanks again for making my day turn out perfect. I love you guys.
