Mid winter break


We went up to crystal on Thursday and Friday to go and ski in the "pow pow" (Allie's words, not mine). Wednesday night we were lucky enough to get to spend the night at a cabin in Greenwater. The girls woke up to pancakes, their favorite breakfast, and...

It was awesome. 

Both girls did great in their lessons. Allie learned to turn and was SO proud. 

Thursday:







After skiing we went to Nonna's for dinner and of course had a rousing game of old maid. The girls have the worst poker faces. I love it. 



On Friday we woke up bright and early and headed to the mountain again. We met Pofo in the lodge and skied a few runs with him. Unfortunately after lunch he had to go back to work. Maddie was looking all over for him so she could go up again with him. 









We got bold and took Allie up chinook. She did well until she crashed going pretty fast and got snow up her jacket. Game over. I got to carry her down. 


Maddie found a friend. She was happy to ditch me. I was shocked when she skied into line and hopped on a chair. 






And then Sonja and Zach came over for dinner. We packed a lot into just over 48 hours. I need to think of something fun for our next 48!

The girls look like they are doing a great job skiing. Congrats to both of you. How cute to see Maddie find a skiing buddy. The morning visitor at the cabin was a wonderful surprise. Old Maid is a must after dinner.
