february 20

another nice day = another day at perfect north!  we were happy and relieved to pull in and find that the place was practically empty compared to saturday.  we had lots of time and lots of space to practice with the kids on the bunny hill.  brooke did such a great job and had a really great attitude today.  she has great control of her skis - going where she wants to go, controlling her speed, stopping when she needs to,  etc.  brooke feels so comfortable on her own skis that now she has taken to trying to help gavin :)  i love the way brooke acts as a little coach and cheerleader for gavin.  we had lots to cheer about today because gavin was awesome on his skis.  i can't get over how much natural ability he has.  gavin has great balance on his skis and makes turns like it's nothing.  which is a good thing because turning is the only way he can slow himself down (he refuses to learn how to snow plow/do the "pizza wedge").  after a great morning skiing, we had lunch and headed back over to the tubing hill for some fun, fast runs.  it felt so great to be outside enjoying the snow.  i told kevin that it kind of feels like we took a ski vacation this weekend without leaving home.  can't beat that!
