We spent Mar. 12-19 (Mardi Gras Break) with Danny's brother Travis and his family. Travis was only able to stay for the early part of the trip, but Christy and the kids stayed after he left. Their children had never skiied before but had taken "lessons" at a ski shop in Oklahoma where they lived. They found out during their lessons here that real snow is different than a moving carpet, but the kids all did really well. Reagan, their oldest, decided that he wanted to learn to snowboard having just seen Shaun White in the Olympics. This turned out to be more difficult than he thought, but after two days of lessons, he was able to go down the mountain. It was a great accomplishment. The two younger ones, Sydney and Ryan, caught on to skiing after one day of lessons and were moving down the mountain like they had been doing it for years. They loved skiing with Uncle Danny and he enjoyed skiing with them. Christy spent time with the little ones and then separated to hang with Reagan who needed a little more time on the snowboard. The resort looked really different in March than it did in January. There were a lot more people and the lift lines were a LOT longer. We also did not have as much snow as we did in January. We had a great time with the Terrals and really enjoyed sharing our home with them.
