I LOVE the fact that all of my kids wanted to learn to ski.

I LOVE the fact that my not quite 7yo took his lesson and was a fast learner, but I don't love the fact that he is faster than me now.

I LOVE the fact that my girls wanted to learn. I don't love the fact that they both quit their lesson, but they did get back on the slopes and figured out the basics on their own. I LOVE that I ski well enough that I can hold my poles in front of me under Amanda's armpits and that I can steer her without falling.

I LOVE that Ian is the cutest thing on skis and that he is brave enough to actually do it!

I LOVE the fact that we can visit the snow and don't have to deal with snow gear for months at a time.
