Skiing for the day

This past Monday the kids were out of school celebrating President's Day and we ventured with a group to Dubuque, Iowa for a day of skiing. We have all skied before but it has been about 3 years. Since there was a group going from this area it made the day a bit more enjoyable for the kids as they had friends to ski with. Logan had been begging to snowboard so we finally agreed he could try this. I must admit I did not sleep well the night prior to going as I was afraid that someone would get hurt. But thankfully we all came away without any broken bones, we did manage to come away with sore muscles! We all took lessons to get comfortable on skis/snowboard since it had been a while. The day was really nice, it actually started of sunny but then clouded over and started to gently snow. It was beautiful being on the slopes with it snowing. After the day on this little ski slope I have a deeper appreciation for the winter Olympics! I can't imagine skiing down a one mile ski slope! I think I will stick with our Midwest ski slopes!
