TJ took today, Friday, off of work and we headed up to Bogus in the morning for some skiing with Bailey. The forecast showed rain/snow showers in the afternoon and we couldn't have timed it any better. We got up there about 10:15 and had blue skies and bright sunshine. It was absolutely gorgeous. For someone who is 8 months pregnant and longing to be carving some turns, I was drooling. Freshly groomed runs, 3 inches of new snow from yesterday...I wanted to be swooshing down the hill!
But, enough about me; today was for Bailey--her second time at Bogus. Grandma Kemp joined us for the trip. We slathered Bailey up with sunscreen, got her snow gear on, boots and skis, and she was ready to roll. TJ was going to take her on the Coach chairlift for the first time. She saw the "swing" and was excited about riding. TJ took her to get lined up and as they waited for the chair she just kept looking forward. TJ picked her up by the harness and she sat close to Daddy. She said, "Ohhhhh....this is cool!" She liked looking at the "sparkly" snow--the crystals on top of the fresh powder from the day before. TJ helped her get off the chair and she was off. Went through some powder at the top of the run. Wanted to go fast. Wanted to "catch up to that kid" that had fallen down. Wanted to eat snow. TJ got the reins out after the first run. She was balancing well and he could tell she shifted her weight when she wanted to avoid someone ahead.
A wonderful morning of skiing with good conditions. Bailey did awesome! We can't wait until next year to get her into some lessons. She'll be carving her own turns in no time!
