Hitting the slopes!

This picture was taken from the lift...I risked the life of my iPhone so when I saw the picutre and it wasn't perfect, I didn't take my chances on a second one!

Well the first time out, we hit the slopes with the Monacos! Our trip was to Snow Trails in Mansfield. Nathan and I were bumming around the house for the morning and it was snowing pretty good. Nathan knew how much I'd been itching to get out on the slopes, so he suggested that we bundle up and make a trip! (Best boyfriend in the world.)

After about 50 phone calls, to invite everyone we knew, we rallied the troops. Mom, Dad, Megan (Nathan's sister), Nathan and I drove down to Mansfield for an evening of skiing. We headed out with three avid skiiers and two "newbies". Mom and I pulled out all the ski apparal that we own in order to lend it out to Nathan and Megan. Nathan shoved his feet into Jamie's ski boots (two sizes too small) and Megan borrowed ski pants and a neck warmer.

Due to inclimate weather it took us quite sometime to get down to the resort. Once we got all bundled and ready to go, we started the ski lessons with Nathan and Megan. Each of them had been skiing once. They needed some refreshers, so we spent a little time on the "bunny" hill. Our time there was short lived, Megan and Nathan are NATURALS! They were great with listening and learning and we enjoyed all the slopes that night.

The snow was perfect! Since it had been showing all day, the snow was fresh and fluffy. There's nothing like skiing on real snow! The weather couldn't have been more perfect. I didn't even get cold! :)
