Isn't the Green lovely in March?

Not a lot to report... winter is dragging on and on but we are doing ok!  

Emily is still loving preschool.  One of the aides in her class sent me these pictures.

We got in one last ski day & Killington overnight with some friends this weekend, which was such a fun getaway.  We had a surprisingly good weather day and all the kids played so well.  We should always travel with older kids to entertain ours!

The kids skied all morning and played in the snow after lunch, and then swam before dinner...but of course all I have pictures of is playing inside and watching TV.  

 No nap on a busy day = tired toddler in the afternoon!

Killington Take Three

The one thing that makes me happy about the long winter is that we might have another chance to make it out to Killington.  :)  We spent Friday night and Saturday there this past weekend, and learned (how have we not known this?!) that kids under 6 ski for free.  We took the girls to the magic carpet at Ram's Head, which is the perfect level for them.  Emily amazed me (and I think herself too!) by skiing the whole way down on her own the first run, complete with turning and stopping herself.  I did have to slow her down a little since her pizza wedge isn't strong enough to really check her speed.  The girls both did about 5 runs, and then after a hot cocoa break, my parents and I took Emily down one run at Snowshed.  She did great - kept a great attitude the whole way even though it was a bit above her level.  Towards the bottom as I was helping her finish up, she called out, "Mom!  I forgot all about being nervous!".  We'll call that a success. :)

I didn't realize quite how crazy and pregnant I looked on skis until I saw this video!

First Snowshed run!

 rest time at the condo.  I was the only one reading an old fashioned book. :)
