Well someone LOVES this weather we are having....

Two years ago (January 2012) we took Maggie and put her on skis for the first time, she thought is was cool.   She took a lesson during her time out there but never wanted to get off of the carpets, in fact I think she told us I am NEVER going on a chair lift.  It was scary and something she had no desire to do.


Maggie and Caden in Ski School in January 2012

Jump forward to the next winter, 2012-2013  - daddy really wanted a ski buddy so he asked her if she would want a season pass, well when she learned that she could have pink skis she was in!  We signed her up for Ski Doodles and that gave her and Matt a chance for someone else to teach her but for the two of them to hit the slopes once a week.  She was still not too keen on the chair lifts but the wonderful teachers got her up there and she conquered her fears.  She was hooked. 

Now we were sitting in 2013, do we get her another season pass or is she not going to enjoy this?  She was ready, she had her gear and said she could not wait to get on the slopes.  She was nervous to get on that chair lift but could not wait for her Ski Doodles program to start and to see what she could do.  I thin it is safe to say she amazed herself.  She did not think she could do it but here she is now hitting the big hills. 

Maggie takes on the big hills!

Maggie is enjoying her time with daddy once a week.  She cannot go to that "C" state to see the really big hills.  She would go to the slopes every night if she could.  She down right loves it and this is something that none of her other siblings really care to do so this is hers and only hers.  She amazes me each time.  This video tells a lot of my little six year old who LOVES skiing. 

Oh and that big kid who passed her, yeah that is Spencer the one who Matt and I long ago took skiing along with his two brothers.  That is right 3 kids and 2 adults, one of which who does not ski well!  Now look at them - they are the crazy kids out there and love to encourage Maggie while she is out there.

Maggie, momma is proud of you!  You have conquered your fears and you continue to amaze me each week that you go out there.  Keep doing what you are doing, keep loving what you are doing and ski on or as I learned they say in Colorado, Right On!
