We did it! We returned to St. Louis without any broken bones, pulled muscles, or concussions. We took our first family ski trip, and first trip to Colorado. The mountains were amazing, with light snow falling as we arrived...just beautiful! The kids spent all Friday in ski school, and returned much better skiers than us....not that that would be hard to do! Our first time down the mountain as a family I told Chloe I would stick close to her. She says, "why?", and zooms like lightening past me. So the next few days we skied all the green trails with the kids getting better by the moment. Our only trouble with skiing seemed to be the ski lifts. Chloe forgot to get off one of the lifts, and had to be brought down, and all 3 children at different times fell trying to get on the Looking Glass lift...their nemesis. Of course we had a few moments of Chloe laying face down in the snow saying she was too cold to go on, but surprisingly fewer than I anticipated. Our last day, Isabel and Samuel tried their first blue run and didn't fall, so they moved on while Chloe and I finished with the green ones. But, it was unanimous...we will go skiing again!
