But, we thought what you said--"Who teaches a 2 year old to ski?" Not sure Lilly would take to it yet, but it's definitely one of my favorite things to do.<br /><br />Love these pics of your family enjoying winter.

I miss it and wonder if I can still do it. Mr. Mack has NEVER skied and is afraid of heights so I am not sure I can get him up the lift. Without him, I am not sure I can teach Missy Mack, but maybe ski school can. This is how I would like to ring in 2011. We will see. I love that you guys just did it.

Heather, I totally see why you opt for the beach over the snow. The gear, lift tickets, food, etc on top of travel expenses......can be overwhelming.<br /><br />We invested some money in our gear when we moved to Colorado. Makes a big difference. But, you have to really enjoy it to rationalize the cost.starnes familyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03323598340420309572noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31273001.post-34661422148607002412010-01-04T15:50:14.704-06:002010-01-04T15:50:14.704-06:00Y'all did good!
