For Thanksgiving we went up to Sun Valley to stay with Grandma and Papa Randy. Grandma and Papa Randy were not only busy preparing our Thanksgiving meal, they were also busy getting everything ready for Isla's first time on skis! It was quite the process getting Isla prepared for her first time on the snow hill. We didn't want to rush her nor were we expecting much as she is only three years old. Isla is a thinker and doesn't like to be surprised so we prepared her as best we could. We first introduced her to her new skis so she could get a good look at them:
She seemed to like them:
The next day we went up to Dollar mountain so Isla could watch all the little skiers go up the magic carpet and ski down. She was very interested in what was going on. When we got back to Grandma's house we put Isla in her snow boots so she could get used to walking around in them:
So far so good. We waited a couple more days and then took her up to Dollar so she could try it out herself. Getting ready with Papa Randy:
Finally we make it outside on the snow and we manage to get a smile from her:
Getting her skis on:
And off she goes:
We were so proud of her! She probably was out there for a total of ten minutes before we went into the lodge for hot chocolate. I know we may have went a little over the top getting her prepared, but at least it worked. We are so excited to get her back out there over Christmas!
