We sent our ski school participants off at 9:30 am with a SUPER instructor, Rolf! We found a lovely young woman to come take care of KC for a few hours. Since the footing was a bit treacherous, and it involved several levels of stairs, we convinced Duffy to stay back and "help" The lovely Nichole. Once the three of them were settled, Annette, Mimi,and I took off to go to the restaurant on the mountain where the ski instruction was happening for our crew...we could see them out the windows. But as soon as we walked into the restaurant there was Trey sitting at a table.. Poor guy. The most experienced skier/snowboarder took off by himself and went down the wrong trail where there was a lot of ice due to the warm temperatures the last few days. This resulted in a major fall on his bum and a sore spot!
We went outside and spotted our other three working on turns. Gaby is doing super-- just as kids seem to do! Rolf is a patient and excellent instructor. Grant's excellent water skiing skills are putting him at a disadvantage. He turns easily one way, but not so much in the other direction! However, he too is doing well, but he's really working hard! He came in soaking wet, but super excited! It has all come back to Bill and he's doing quite well. Tomorrow they will all graduate to a bigger hill.
They joined us for lunch and then all went back out again for another 90 minutes. The girls retuned earlier to find Duffy happily eating a large bowl of minestrone and KC babbling away, sitting on the floor playing with Nichole.
Our excited ski gang just returned, happy and a little tired. They have all donned swim suits (Gaby too) and are headed to the pool. Mimi has decided to be SUPER good and go down to use the elliptical! (Could it be that last piece of chocolate they gave us on the ride back to the hotel from the ski left? Hmmm...). Good for her!!!
Dinner tonight is a pizza place across the street from our hotel. We ate there the last time we were here and we all enjoyed it! So doing a return visit!
The last photo I'm posting is of a miniature snowman that Grant and I are playing a game with. Sort of like, "Where's Waldo?" We take turns hiding him someplace in the room that has to be 100% visible. The photo is of the last place Grant hid him and I just found him. Now it's my turn to hide him!
The lovely Nichole making friends with KC!
Rolf and Gaby!
It's ball coming back to him!

Guess who has two teeth on the bottom that have broken through and one on the top that is just barely through! And it's not Mimi!⛄️☺️!
My hiding place which Grant just found!
I am tired just from reading all they did! Sorry Trey - get up and try again tomorrow - you can do it! I am impressed with Grant and Bill - Gaby is the star of the group. She adapts to everything. We all require lessons from her.
ReplyDeleteWhat a good baby KC is. Can't wait to see what happens tomorrow - think I will go order some pizza you made me hungry.
