Get your skis on

Yesterday was our first day of taking the kids skiing this season.  We went to Dollar where the magic carpet and one of the lifts were open.  Still the mountain was packed with families trying out their ski legs once again.  It was fun seeing so many friends.  

A few things to remember about taking your kids skiing:

*It takes a LONG time to get the car loaded and the kids dressed for skiing

*Start slow and stress free at first.  Some of the younger kids get tired easily and aren't big fans of all the clothes and having their feet strapped down.  You want to make it an enjoyable experience, so if your child only last 15 minutes, then hopefully he/she will last 20 minutes next time.  

*Don't forget the hot chocolate inside after your day is over or if your child is needing a break.  A nice warm treat!

*HAVE FUN!  We have plenty of weekends of skiing and I can't wait.
