"Little Bee" Christian! He was extremely excited to spend the morning on the slopes. He warned Mommy that he was going to go to school "all by himself" and Lindalee and I couldn't come. "Ski school is for big kids and mommies and daddies aren't allowed." Okay, Mr. Independent. I asked if Lindalee and I could just watch, after some persuading, he agreed.
I don't think Christian's instructors were ready for him to take off without hesitation when they said it was okay to go. {See above} With a big smile he headed down the hill. He got a fair amount of speed going {for a bunny slope} and almost ended up in a gravel pit. Thankfully, it didn't phase him one bit.
His instructor caught him {before the gravel pit} and he had a one-on-one for the rest of the lesson. I'm glad they realized, quickly, how fearless this little boy is.
Lindalee REALLY wanted to "skkkkkeeeeee" like big brother. Maybe, next week.
Poor little Lindalee was such a trooper. Her fever finally went down and the doctor okay'd her to be out, so like any good younger sibling, she went with the flow {for the most part}. While we were hanging out in the lodge, she actually ate and drank. Despite it being hot chocolate and a muffin, I was just excited she was eating something.

Practicing bending his knees. Good workout!
Christian loved his instructors, especially because they talked a lot about "pizza" and "french fries". He did a great job. He was definitely the fastest skier on the bunny slope, and definitely the most out of control {or fearless, not sure what describes him better}. Not the best mix; thank God for helmets. At the end of the lesson, he asked his instructors if he could go on the "gondola" to the top of the mountain. They explained that he needs to learn to be safe first. He was pretty bummed. It won't be long!
Despite Lindalee not feeling well, it was a great morning. It felt so good to be outside and at the ski resort, even if I wasn't skiing. By the time we left it was snowing. We drove home in a winter wonderland. Quite fitting for the morning we had. When we got home, Christian even took a nap.
I had to include this sweet picture from big cousin Lucy. We had to cancel plans to see them yesterday because Lindalee was so sick. Apparently Lucy has been very concerned about her all day and made her this card. Lindalee has lots of people thinking about her!
Thankful for wonderful morning on the slopes {and in the lodge}!
