It was a busy ski season this year with Olive taking her class. I'm so glad we signed her up. It was a great experience for her and she learned so much. She was very proud of herself and she should be because she worked hard. It was also great to do it with friends. The dads got to go up and ski, and when they didn't we would go up and hang out as families. It was so much fun! The last lesson they told us that they were going to have the kids race down a real course so we all went up to cheer them on. It was very snowy that day so for part of the time I stayed inside with Milo because he was getting cold.
When we went out to find Olive, she skied right up to him and gave him a big huge. Could they be cuter?
They did a run down the little hill first and then took a break. And then it was race time.
Here is Olive going down in her race. She did SO great. She turned around every gate, didn't fall once, and was flying down with surprising speed and control. It was so awesome to watch. Yes, I might have cried a little bit, in between my cheering!
She made it! You may not be able to tell but she has a huge smile under her face guard! Good job Ollie!
Our little ski champion! We were and are seriously SO proud of her!
Here is Olive with her little snow bunny ski pals McCoy and Brighton.
And here they are with their teacher Jen and her assistant helper Canyon. They were both amazing and the kids loved them.
This isn't from that same day but another day when we went up while Scott was skiing and picked Milo up to ride with him. It was adorable.
That night we did a little awards ceremony and gave them candy trophies for all their hard work.
We made it super official and made them listen to the national anthem and had the olympic march playing when they walked up to their spots. It was pretty awesome.
They all took it so seriously too, like they were receiving real medals and awards.
A cute story is that this was around the time of the Olympics and once when Olive saw the ski races on tv she asked me "Mom, when is my race going to be in the Olympics?" She wanted to watch her race on tv. I found out that McCoy said something similar to his mom too! So cute!
Hooray!!! Can't wait until next year!
