Samantha has a ski lesson

For all the family who wanted to be here but couldn't. Here is a recap of Samantha's first ski lesson. I wrote this during the lesson so the effect is real-time.

I wander and find brochures for ski and snowboard teams. Of course, Lindsey Vonn is mentioned repeatedly which is fair. It's not often an Olympic medalist is from your hometown!

Sam has her skis now and is waiting patiently, absorbing the busy atmosphere. Her mouth occasionally hangs open, but I choose not to address it.

Her lesson is starting now. They are all walking outside to the training area. My girl is so cute!



They haven't gotten to the actual slope yet and I'm not sure that the class will get there or now. Samantha has now taken her coat off for snack. (Why do people offer oreos and juice for snack and then complain about child obesity rates?) Apparently she is too cool for jackets just like her instructors. (Yes, I understand that they're moving around and probably have no problems maintaining their body temperature.)

She's heading to the slope! I get my camera ready. Sam is halfway up the bunny hill! (Look for the girl in pink getting her skis straight on the video.) My baby is staying up and crashing into the instructor at the bottom just the way she is supposed to. She gets it! I'm so proud!
