Monet's First Time Skiing

...

On Saturday me, Grant, Riley, Chloe and my mom took Monet to Sundance for her first time skiing. It was really warm and overcast and there was no one there, so it was perfect. We wanted to put her in the hiking backpack but she didn't want anything to do with that, then we tried to get her to wear her goggles and she didn't want anything to do with those either, so she was carried and her eyes were watering, but it was all about her having a good experience. Skittles on the lift ride made her extra happy. I love her little grin. She loved it. We would stop and she would say, "more, more."

She looked like a little doll on the chair lift, so tiny.

We skied for at least an hour. She wanted to go more, but I didn't want to wear her out on the whole thing. Better to leave her excited and ready for next year. Then she'll be on her own skis.
Afterwards we went to the deli and had lunch and suckers. (She likes to "cheers" everything!)
I'm so glad that she loved it, (even though she doesn't really have a choice in this family!)

It was the best way to close the ski season.
