Ski Bunny

Today was an adventure! Our church had a ski day at Mt. La Crosse. This was Karis's first skiing experience. Timothy enjoyed watching his sister, Ben and all the other skiers.
Since Karis is under 10, she was given a private lesson by a staff member from Mt. La Crosse.
Even though this was not cheap, it was worth it for her. She had someone to teach her to ski without learning our bad habits. Aaron is helping her put her skis on in this picture.
This is a close up of Karis and Aaron about half way through her lesson. They conquered the bunny slope and quickly headed to the ski lift. Aaron said that Karis has no fear. She must get this from her dad.


I love this picture! Karis, Ben and Timothy enojoyed the "warm" weather on the slopes. We were so excited to see temps in the 30s this weekend!

Check out these two wild skiers! Karis doesn't look very happy since her hat fell off while she was getting on the lift. I held it for her until she returned from her run. This didn't slow her down at all.
A good day was had by most of the gang from Cornerstone. Poor Amy Jo dislocated her shoulder and had to have it put back in place in the ER. I'm also wondering if Ben will be able to get out of bed tomorrow.

Great pics! Looks like a lot of fun. How sore was Ben the next day?? ;-)

Ben was pretty sore, but mostly in his wrists. He realized that he's never tried to ski with a little kid before. It really changes how you do things.
