My ski star

We made a super quick visit up to Big Bear on Thursday, to celebrate Jason's Birthday (he snowboards for free on his Birthday), and for Sydney to take a stab at skiing.  She went briefly when she was 3, so this pretty much counts as her first time skiing.  We were so excited to see how well she did, she picked it up in no time, and by the afternoon was riding the ski lift up, and skiing right on back down.  She didn't even fall getting off the lift once! 

The pictures don't really do it justice, but here she is!  She was in "Little Bear School", and they started with one ski on, scooting down a little hill...

She moved right on into the "pizza", making her way down the hill within the school area...

And then, onto the hoops! She navigated right through, no problem...

 
So, onto the lift she went!  It was a little bit scary watching my baby go way up there without me!
 

And there she goes, with her class, down the mountain...

 
So, Sydney and Jason had a fabulous day.  Jason got to do a ton of rides on a nice quiet mountain, in between watching Sydney and going down the runs with her.  When she wasn't in class she and Daddy did a ton more runs, having a blast each time.  Sydney didn't want to stop, she cried when it was time to leave :(.  We promised we would go back again soon. 
 
While those two big kids were having a blast, Brooke and I had some fun of our own!  More on that tomorrow...
