Our first family ski outing!

We headed to PA this weekend to have Christmas with the N's family and to also ski for the first time as a family.  N and his step-mom both ski, but the rest of us have not (ok-I had one lesson 16 years ago!). 

N's brother Jon, his girlfriend, and I took a first time skiers lesson.  We had a great teacher and we all did pretty well.  J even felt so confident that her joined N and Kelli on the slopes.  Courtney and I decided to enjoy a cup of coffee (it was the worst coffee ever, it should be a law that ski slopes serve only the best coffee!) and rest our tired legs.

D spent the day in a program called the Little Rippers.  It was from 9-4 and included a lesson and lunch.  We got to see her out on the bunny slope and she did awesome.  The teacher said she was a little nervous at first but then took right off.  She is looking forward to skiing again this weekend if the weather cooperates.
