Learning to Ski

This winter my husband decided to buy a season pass to a local ski resort for the first time ever.  Our son who is a senior in high school bought a season pass too and Scott wanted to be able to spend more time with him.  So he took the plunge and bought one.




He has really enjoyed it and has gone about once a week since the second week of December to get maximum use of his pass.  After a while he decided it would also be a good idea to teach our younger daughter to ski.  So he took her a few times to the tow rope, which is pretty easy, and then this last weekend he bought her a night skiing pass and took her up for a couple of hours.




She's still very much a beginner but she's slowly getting more comfortable on skis.  And I'm really pleased that she gets to spend some one-on-one time with her dad while learning how to do something hard.  That seems like a really good thing.

Bruce and Michelle organized the activities and did a good job. I enjoyed myself! Hopefully lots of other people did too. We showed up on Wednesday afternoon and enjoyed a taco salad dinner, served by Neil and Kristie's family. We also worked on two mixer games:  a word search with the names of all 100 Hansen family members as well as a Bingo card that involved finding people with different attributes like recent high school graduation, birthdays in certain months, etc. The word search was definitely the most popular. Also popular was playing Nine-Square and Sandy Pickle (a cross between pickle ball and badminton). Thys and Katrina might have won! After dinner, we had an FHE activity/lesson. Liz had made a book with stories of the first ancestors to join the church. She had selected different stories for us to act out in g...
