Though we ended on having an early start, we didn't end up leaving Chantalynn's aunt's house until around 10. So, by the time we go to the mountaintop, it was already noon and lunchtime. Trung inhaled his chili cheese dog and took off while the rest of us took our time eating lunch. Since he had just gotten back from his ski trip, Trung just wanted to check out this mountain and then would watch the kids to let me ski the rest of the time. He managed to get in six total runs, and I got in 7 if you include non-skied ones. I am always a little scared skiing since you hear so many stories of people crashing into trees or what not, but once I got the hang of it, it was a lot of fun. Maybe next year we'll put the girls in a ski class and then soon, we'll be skiing as a family!
Sophie keeping herself busy on the ride up
Making snow angels
Letting the girls play "X marks the spot" with my ski poles while Trung got a couple runs in.
My turn at the top of Mt. Baldy
This trail looked a lot friendlier up on top
Not so much as you are going down it, well, more like sliding down with no clue when you are going to stop. Yes, this will probably be the only black diamond that I will ever "ski" and no, I didn't know it was a black before I went on it. :/
Chantalynn offered to watch the kids for a little bit so that Trung and I could ski together.
Ready to go down the correct side of the mountain this time
Keeping warm inside the restaurant while people without kids wait in line outside for the lift down...it was a good 1.5 hour wait too! Poor Sophie was starting to come down with sometime, hence, the red eyes but brave smile.
The kids taking turns with the Ipod since all our other electronic devices were dying off one by one. Too bad they couldn't just sit back and enjoy the gorgeous sunset as seen through the window on the top right.
