My poor, deprived kids finally got to go skiing yesterday. They have been begging all year to learn, I just kept putting it off. Hagen and I had a funny conversation about learning to ski about a month ago. He came home from school one day saying that his friend told him if he wanted to do ski lessons then he had to go on that day. I told him we didn't need someone else to teach him to ski and that I could teach him. He replied "Ya like some dumbass". I was laughing too hard to get mad at him because it sounded exactly like something his dad would say. So yesterday we proved we didn't need some dumbass to teach him to ski! All it took was some edgie wedgies and me and my niece Taylor.
Kendell stopping to smile for the camera. She said skiing was even funner than she thought it would be. She did so good!
