Emory & Lily's first skiing adventure

We took Emory & Lily skiing at Loveland today - we got a late start, but got up there about 10:30, and stayed for about 3 hours. Lily spent the first few hours crying and not wanting to try it, but she got up and had a few "runs" at the end. Emory seems like a natural, and, while he can't turn or stop yet, he can crouch and go straight without falling...much. The kids were cold, cried a fair amount, but said they had a fun time, and I think we'll put them in lessons the next time we go up there! I no longer feel like a 'bad' Colorado parent, as my kids have now been skiing!
