Day on the slopes


so today was a big day!! we all had our first skiing lesson and day on the slopes!
with lots of excitment and apprenshion we loaded up this morning!! with Jen as my extra pair of hands (bless her i would have never pulled it off otherwise!!)

We are sooo lucky we are only 20 mins from http://www.discoverchicopee.com/

On recommendation for their fab selection of 'bunny' runs that was our destination :)
Once suited and booted, we first learnt to the funny ski walk!! you can't walk normally in ski boots!!

The twins had a Private Discover Skiing lesson which was only $79! That was for the one-to-one lesson, equipment rental for the day, ski lift passes for the day and a $5 food voucher :)
It gets better myself and Saoirse was the same (but in a group lesson) for only $59!!!
We fell down, we laughed, we shivered, we had fun and most importantly we learnt to stop!!!
after an hour! Saoirse was flying down the first slope and was bored and ventured off with jen to exlpore bigger hills!!
the twins were clearing the run in one go, you would swear they had been born with skis on their feet!!!!!!
so now home, rosey cheeked, battered bodies, exhausted tired children (and mum) but an absolutely fabulous day!

one that is going to become a weekly event for the rest of winter :) :) :)
