The family out skiing again

Forgive me while I play catch up.

Saturday March 21st was another, and the last for awhile, family ski day. These are really fun days. It is so fun to have both our boys on the mountain, and they are so good. It makes a Mom and Dad proud.

Mitch and I were able to ride the triple lift with Asher, which was really fun. This was possible, because Jackson wanted to ride up the his friend Elijah and his dad. Loading with the 3 of them got a little tricky, and someone caught a ski and then simultaneously all three got dumped off the lift. It was a little scary for the kids, but also a little funny for us.

Asher is obsessed with poles. He calls them his "rope." Anytime he could get his hands on my poles he would take off. This kid is amazing. He loves to ski and everything about it is exciting to him. He wants to do everything by himself, which is great, except sometimes it makes him unteachable. At the end of the day he rode the "elevator" all by himself, and skied down the learner run all by himself. It was amazing to have two independent skiers at the end of the day. Too bad there won't be much skiing in PA. They might lose their skills.

Looks like a beautiful day! How fun to be able to do something like that with the whole family. I guess you guys will just have to make frequent trips to Utah in the winter to keep up with the skills!
PS I am jealous of your flowers!
