Brave.

Or maybe crazy.  But this year I decided to get the girls both season ski rentals and we plan on going to Sundance every Thursday after I pick up Presley from the bus stop (Fridays would work too).  After finally finding a store that still had rentals available for the season (thanks Shannon!), I took the girls skiing.

It was hard work and we didn't stay long--2 turns on the tow rope each.  It was an event.  From having to park in the upper lot, even with my pleading (a 3 and 5 year old--one of which has never been on skis), to nearly having to break my foot to fit in my ski boot (I am looking for bigger ones, if anyone has some), and ALL that walking.

Phone pics--because I am not going to haul my nice camera with all the other things I was carrying.

We were all exhausted and the girls took three hour naps when we got home.  I do have to say thank you to the gentleman who held Presley's hand walking up the slope to the tow rope--my hands were literally full with my skis, Stella's hand and a backpack with all our gear and the girls skis.  Could you imagine if we all had poles too?

Thank goodness for the suckers Sundance sells in the deli (the seven layer bars too).
