After our memorable Christmas celebrations, we ventured on a harrowing trip to the mountains (read, Honda Accord with family of four...stuck on 4,000 foot mountain in the icy snow). You know this has happened before when your 3-1/2 year old says, "Oh, Mom, we're stuck on the mountain again...what's new?!" It sure made for a fun adventure. Luckily, Pops saved the day with his 4-wheeler and freed us from our mess!
We roughed it with no water for a day (the pump had frozen), but we made the best of it and still had a great time. The highlight -- no doubt -- was our first skiing experience with Turner. I took her to Cataloochee. The conditions were absolutely perfect, and she had a blast! She loved the chairlift, and she loved "making a triangle" with her skis.
I admittedly got a little carried away with excitement, and when she begged me to take her to the "top of the mountain," I did. A few tears were shed on the way down the BLACK slope, but they were quickly replaced by pride and joy as we took on the second half of the mountain laughing and screaming!
She loves skiing and has loved telling her tale to anyone who will listen! I think ski school is in the near future!
