For Christmas this year- we got Emily a 'ski trip' to Colorado. She flew out by herself on Thursday night, we had girl time on Friday painting pottery and shopping the outlet malls and headed up skiing on Saturday.
We left at 6:40am and it took us 4 hours to get to Breck (normally an hour and a half drive). The traffic was sooo horrible on our way up and blizzarding conditions at the tunnel left the roads really bad. We made it up though, ate lunch and then skied in the afternoon. This was Emily's first time skiing and we decided to teach her ourselves instead of putting her in a lesson. She did awesome and barely fell on the greens. For the last run, we took her all the way up and did a half blue/half green run. The blue part kicked her butt but she never complained. It was cold, windy, and snowing hard all day but I think she had a great time!
We decided to eat dinner in Frisco and let some of the traffic pass. Well- it continued to snow all day/night so the roads were even worse and it still took us 3.5 hours to get home. Such a long day... but glad we got to take Em skiing for the first time!
