Skiing and Hot Tubbing!!!

First time on skis for both Brodie and Danika....helping Brodie first....
then Danika....
The lesson with Cheyenne and Treyce as well...Victoria was the instructor and they all loved her...she was so good and patient with them all....she ended up giving at least an hour and a half lesson and we only paid for one hour...I think she enjoyed them as well!
Brodie's first attempt...not at all bend over like he is supposed to be...
Danika on the other hand doing EXACTLY what she is told!
Uncle Ryan trying out the slopes....
