Early Out Day

Last Monday was 45 degrees and sunny, perfect for family skiing.  I finally decided to take advantage of Tatum and Seth's early out day and headed up to Alta with the kids.  We picked up my Mom, Kim and Holden on the way.  Sometimes skiing is so overwhelming with everything there is to pack up.  Last time I went without Rick I forgot Tatum's jacket and brought the wrong skis for her.   This time it was much smoother.  I think I got all the boots buckled and jackets zipped, etc. in less than twenty minutes- our goal.  

We had such a great time.  Brandee was up there with her boys.  Seth was in heaven following Breckon and Holden through the trees.  When Tatum went to follow Grandma through the trees, Sage announced she wouldn't be left behind and demanded to follow.  We went over some of those little rollers, there were about ten in a row.  Sage was laughing so loud, she couldn't stop.  It was hilarious.  She is a little speedster.  Everyone had a great day.  Being in the mountains with my family is one of my favorite memories.  On the way home I told my kids one reason I wanted to take them skiing is to help them learn to enjoy the way exercising makes you feel.  Seth said, "skiing is exercise?"  Exactly!
