We took Dallin and Ella to Alta for "Ski Free after 3" a couple times this week. Ryan took them on his own on Saturday, and I went with them this week. They are both great skiiers for having gone only a handful of times. This was only Ella's second time at a resort - she snowmobile skiid last year.
Snowplowing down a hill is really a pretty good workout! I was tired after a couple hours. Taking kids reminds me of skiing when I was young - when you fall, everything is going in the wrong direction, and the tow rope is a joke!
I dropped my poles on the lift and Ella said, "Well, there go your sticks."
You can't see it well, but Ryan's arm is out the window waving "bye" to the kids. He waves until he rounds the corner and they can't see him anymore. Dallin and Ella have had the discussion whether or not Dad waves bye all the way till he gets to work, it was undecided.
We went out to the Lake with Ohrans and Harrison's to see how the ice had been pushed up into ice mountains. It was very cool and the ice mountains were made up of thousands of crystals. All the boys and Ella loved to throw rocks in the lake.
Poor Sleeping Beauty has no one to dance with.
I love the red parachute guy. And Chewie. Ella is creative and has been working around the no Prince's in the house problem for a while now. Everyone is having a great time at the ball, until Dallin comes and finds Luke Skywalker and even Darth Vader spending their free time dancing with princesses. Lets just say he isn't too happpy about it, and often the ball ends early.
