It is well known how enthusiastic and talented John is when it comes to outdoors. John is an amazing skier, and he used to teach skiing at Snowbasin when we were in college. So, of course, he started early teaching the girls how to ski. This is their 4th winter skiing (they started when they were 3 years old). This year John signed them up to be on the ski team, and they LOVE IT!!
They ski every Saturday. When it is time to wake up and get ready to go skiing, there is no lingering in bed and they get ready so fast! I'm happy they like it so much, I just wish they could get up and get ready that fast for school.
They had their first ski race at Wolf Mtn a few weeks ago and another race last Saturday at Snowbasin. They compete against other racers that are older, have more years experience, and who also ski more days during the week. We are trying to make it fun and pressure free.
I can't believe the difference in their abilities from last year to this year. They are talented girls. They have an awesome coach who is so great with them and they love her. They named their group the "Hello Kitty team". In their group there is one other girl their age, so for 3 six year old girls it is a perfect name, and just makes it just that much more fun. Their coach is so sweet and brings them little Hello Kitty gifts.
It is so fun to watch them grow and participate in different things. They are busy with everything they do, but we have fun!
