New Year's 2015

We scooped up the kids and headed to Seven Springs on New Year's Eve.  We stopped at a ski rental shop just off the exit and rented Patrick tiny skiis and boots for the season.  Tommy is close in enough in size he can piggy back off of Patrick's rental.  There was no snow to be seen except what the snow makers were blasting onto the slopes. Patrick headed out with Daddy for a few runs on the bunny slope and the beginner hills.  This guy is a pro at riding the lift now!

We had an early midnight around 7:00 and let the kids make all the noise they wanted after we finished dinner (a bucket of KFC!). 

New Year's Day Tommy got the first run with daddy, and Tom said it was like Tommy's legs ceased to work once he got on the skis.  At one point, Tommy skid down the bunny slope nearly sitting on his skiis. 

We read, built Legos, and played a game go pick-up sticks.

Later on New Years Day, we took all three kids to the bunny slope so I could see the boys skiing firsthand. Tommy did better, Patrick practiced some turning, and Kaya ate a lot of snow. She also insisted on having a snack and her milk cup with her at all times on the slope.

Just before leaving, Baba and Grampy stopped by.  We tried hard for a posed picture...
