When Travis and I decided to teach Carina to ski we decided that it was really all about "growing" a skier. Which as we figure it means that it is our job to make this as much fun as possible for her. We initially started off taking her in a child carrier back pack... and that worked until Travis took a bit of a fall with her and she HATED it after that. We were worried that we had ruined it for her forever. But thanks to some you tube videos of little kids skiing Carina was hooked and hence the "I wanna ski by myself" post of earlier.
We did buy her her own skis and she has enjoyed it. We took her up with the sled this weekend, she wanted to start off in the sled and stayed in there all the way to our lunch spot. It is a beautiful spot with a great view of Mt. Hood.
Carina and I stayed at the top of the hill while Travis made the drop. We made the snowman and went Sledding. It was an incredibly fun and silly time.
Carina managed to ski for about 1/4 of a mile back down to the car. She did really well but she was tired and got back in the sled and passed out all the way back to the car. When she woke up to get in the car she told me " that was really fun skiing."

these photos are great! i especially love the one of you and her snuggling/wrestling on the snow together. such intimate moments that will be cherished when she no longer wants to publicly proclaim that she loves her mama :)
