Ski Day with Daddy...

Today was Daddy and daughter date day...Doug took the girls up to Sierra Summit for a ski day! Lauryn hasn't been since she was four, and Olivia has never been before! We went and rented skis and boots yesterday, I packed all their clothes and lunches, set out the ski clothes and they snuggled up in bed early! They set out in the morning and got there when the lifts opened! Doug was so great, he got them ready, walked them across the parking lot with their boots on, and all their gear...then signed them up for ski school, and helped out with the class! Lauryn was loving it, and picked it up pretty quickly, Olivia was her normal self, crying, saying she was ready to head home...but with Daddy's "gentle" guidance and persistence, she pushed through and ended up doing pretty well, and even liking it! When I got home today and asked them about it, They told me they had fun, and they loved it! I asked them if they wanted to go again, Olivia said "NO"...Lauryn said "YES"! So we will try again sometime in the next few weeks, after we take out a second on our house....well, not really...but it is NOT cheap!! All in all though, it was a great day for Dad and his sweet daughters! They even got to hang out with their Uncle Mark, Auntie Steph, and cousins Madison and Emma!!

It looks like they had fun! How much does it cost for a day of skiing? I'm clueless!
