Violet's First Ski Trip

We took a 2 day trip up to Deep Creek (the place we go every summer to the lake) to give Violet an early Birthday present of skiing! It was SO MUCH FUN!!!! We did not want to come home, but ahhh, somebody has to work around here so we can do these fun things:) And what made it even more fun was to go with Violet's best buds, Giovanni and Ella!
Getting fitted for skis
riding up the magic carpet to get to the top of the bunny slope
Tia took Violet down for her first run with a training harness.(poor Tia was quite busy with the kids since she is the best skier of all of us!)
Mommy and Violet
Grace, Violet, Nina, & Ella
Giovanni
Nina taking a load off at the top of the bunny hill:)
Our first trip to the top of the mountain on the ski lift! Violet never fell when getting of the lifts either!!
DAY 2! Check out these gigantic icicles on the house we stayed at!
Brandon and Grace (the grown-ups got a few runs down some of the intermediate and even a few black diamond slopes while the kids were in ski school in the morning)
Grace & Christina-what a great view! That is the lake at the bottom of the mountain all covered in ice and snow.
Dairo & Christina
Daddy & Violet
Violet didn't need the training harness on the second day and just held onto Brandon's pole.
She has mastered the "pizza" to stop!
She started falling on the last run of the day, that's how we knew it was time to go home:(
What a beautiful fun day of memories!
