"Moms do not let moms teach kids to ski..."


Why didn't anyone tell me this earlier..."Moms do not let moms teach kids to ski."

We (Jenna and I) came full circle on New Year's Eve...I took Jenna skiing for her first time.

We started off happy, enthusiastic, excited, fresh!

We practiced lots of "Pizza Pie" (snow plowing) and "french fries" (going straight down the mountain)...thankfully more "Pizza Pie" than "french fry"

We (meaning Jenna) spent time on the ground pouting and crying...

We (meaning Me) spent time learning patience and loosing it a couple of times- like twice.

We (meaning we) spent time making funny faces and eating yummy peanut butter and jelly sandwiches in the truck which helped us unwind, become happy again, get excited, get fresh!
(why do ski lunches always taste the best even if just pb and j???)

We (meaning we) conquered the pizza pie.

We were happy.
We were enthused that Jenna is now officially a ski bunny.
We were excited!
We were exhausted--but became refreshed as we headed down the mountain eating our candy bar treats!

What a full circle day...one to remember!
