Gundersen hosted a night out at Mt. La Crosse so lift tickets were offered at a considerably reduced rate and lessons were free. I took advantage and the kids had a blast. This was Kya's first ski lesson and Therin's second snowboard lesson. I thought about attempting to bust out the snowboard myself today but made the right decision and just watched and helped the kids (I kept busy and got enough of a workout running up and down the hill to help Kya.) I think we'll be ready for the chair lift/bigger hills after another day on the bunny hill. You could tell how fatigued the kids were after an hour and a half because it got harder and harder to make it up the tow rope; so it was time to head home for a hot shower and food!! Both Therin and Kya were complimenting each other on how well they did on the ride home. I was proud of them both and wished Travis could have been out there with us on such a gorgeous day!!! It was 50 today in La Crosse and so I had the kids wear rain pants and rain jackets instead of their usual winter gear-it wasn't nearly as water logged to bring home!!

What a fun day! Sunshine and snow, who could ask for a better day to be out on the hill?
they look like naturals!
i'm so glad you go to do this! skiing/snowboarding are great life skills to have. (and much easier learned in childhood)
