Skiing

An "Extra Fun" Skiing Day with Sadie

I took Sadie skiing last month and man did she pick it up fast! We went on the rope tow hill once and then right onto a ski lift! She was such a confident skiier and would go super fast down the hill, and it scared me to death! She finally mastered snow plowing and then I felt a little better about things. We worked a lot on turning and definately need to go back again this season so she can get it down a little better. 

I was so scared to teach Sadie how to ski and I'm not sure if I would have taken the leap if it hadn't been for my friend Lindsey. She is super athletic and taught her little girl to ski so it was great having her there to tell me what I needed to do with Sadie and when I needed to back off and let Sadie go down the hill by herself. Otherwise I probably would have been helping her the entire time! Sadie and Oakley get along really great too and I am so glad she has such a cute little friend!

By the end of the day Sadie was soooo tired and crying and carrying on. It was pretty sweet that she was crying about how the day was "extra fun" and that she didn't want to leave.

That night when she got home she curled up with her Dad and read The BFG. Brian wanted to start reading Sadie chapter books so that was her first one. I just finished reading her the first book from the Ivy and Bean series and Brian started reading The Magic Treehouse. Emmy kind of drifts in and out of listening and playing. It is so much nicer to read those than the short kid stories. I am so happy we are starting to transition with these older girls.
