The week of New Years we went up to Tamarack Resort for a little R&R...which included skiing, if you can count that as rest or relaxation! We took Aspen up for her first ski lesson, and Eric having been a ski instructor in the past made things pretty easy for me. I just observed as Eric did his thing. Here's Aspen and her daddy on the lift, which was her favorite part of the trip.
She had really great balance, but fell a couple times. Here she is making snow angels, which she did every time she fell. Hey, when life gives you lemons...right? I was proud of her little spirit!
Well she lasted about 20 minutes but it was fun to have her up there with us. The best part was seeing Eric glow as he taught his little girl his favorite sport!

People always teel me Elijah looks too small to be walking...well, Aspen looks too small to be skiing! I know, it's good to get her started early. Cute post. What a positive little Angel! Will she be hitting the slopes this weekend with us? :)

So cute! I love that you really tried to take her skiing! It's like Dave and football; he can't wait until his boys can actually play (as opposed to just running around with the ball) :)

Hey congrats on the new baby! I had no idea (it's been awhile since I've looked at blogs!) I LOVE LOVE LOVE the pictures of Eric teaching Aspen to ski! I bet he was proud as punch!! :) I'm just surprised he didn't have Oakley strapped to his back at the same time! :)
