This was our third year to pack up the family car and head to New Mexico for skiing! The extra exciting part of this year's trip was that Reiders was able to join us! He was so excited to go skiing, although we really don't think he knew what it meant!
Can you see his excitement in this pic? hands up and thrilled!
As we were taking the above pictures, a really nice mom pulled up behind us and said that one mile down the road was the "Three Corners" marker where OK, TX and NM met. We had to hop a fence but we found it!
Following the lead of his 4th grade teacher who did a pushup at the Four Corners, Grant chose to do a pushup - hands in Texas, and a foot in the other states.
We knew it had been a warm few weeks at Angel Fire. As we rounded the corner by the neighboring town, and saw the slopes, we were a bit in doubt as to the quality of snow. This was solid white last year, and you couldn't even make out the slopes.
First day! Dropping of Reid at Ski School!
It was Veteran's Weekend - a flag procession down the hill before the lifts opened.
Peeping in at Ski School - he's on the right.
Picking up after his first day! He seemed excited!
This was actually a really happy, excited silly face! I know he looks terrified!
Grant and Kyle both did great this year. We really saw improvement in Grant's skiing ability. Kyle had a fall that put some doubt in his head for a little while. It was fun for the four of us to spend so much time together.
Sunday was clear and beautiful.
After the second day at school, we grabbed Reid so he could show off a little bit (but mostly for a brother photo!)
The boys shared a king bed, and they were OUT the last night!
