Speed Sledding

We entertained some friends in Leadville this weekend. They were going to be skiing all week so we opted for a different snowy downhill adventure: sledding! The weather was perfect. It wasn’t snowing. Finally. Sledding is usually no good when there is fresh powder because the hill gets built up with the fresh snow and you just push it down the mountain. You want more of a compacted icy surface for maximum speed. So that’s what we had this week.

Guess who’s going with Reagan? Mom!

Ski Princess

I started teaching Sydney to ski at 5. Reagan is now 5 so its her turn. But I didn’t have Sydney on her own yet so I figured Reagan would have to wait another year. This is probably a good call since Reagan is kind of a weenie. Always cold. Not the strongest legs in the world. I knew it would be more effort than it took with Sydney.

But after a full day on Friday, Sydney was on her own. So that night, Sydney convinced Reagan that she needed to ski too. I knew it would be a challenge so we headed over to the smaller Cooper Mountain from the cabin. Took all of 12 minutes to get there. Score! We parked right up front, got right on the lift, and started down. I was happy to maximize the time from car to fun. Sydney and Natalee took off and left Reagan and I to ski together for the day. Lots of leg work keeping her inside my legs all day.

We got 4 or 5 runs in before Reagan got cold and was ready for a snack and was done. I was trying to get a photo of her but Reagan wouldn’t let me get far enough away from her to take a photo myself. Natalee luckily caught a few to document the day.

When Reagan got back home, she wanted to carry her skis in to show her mother what she did. She had lots of good stories and I think she had a good time.

Hopefully, we will get out there a few more times this year. Once I have her on her own, I will be a pseudo-professional instructor!

American Heritage Girls Go Bowling

Today our American heritage Girls Troop was having a fun day out together. The activity chosen for this fun day was bowling. Reagan was not too fond of this idea as bowling is not her thing. But as soon as she saw these things her mood brightened up. This type of bowling she could handle.

By the end of the night she was even giving Kayla pointers. Start ‘em young!

Sydney on the other hand was all about the hard work. There would be no ramps for her when it was definitely more fun to hurl that big ball down down the lane. Though she did insist on gutter blocks. Which I think was a good thing given her swing.

Another fun outing with our troop.
