First Attempt

Davis loves skiing.  Since 5th grade he has been a number of times each winter.  Gator has always wanted to give it a try, I just haven't been able to get her out there.  But this year I knew would be the year.  Ski Utah has a 5th grade pass and it is an awesome deal, so I got the pass and a season rental and we were just waiting for snow.  Davis went skiing today, after church Owen and I drove her up to Basin to just try the skis out on a back trail not the resort.  It was a nightmare.  She cried the whole time that her feet hurt and that she couldn't ski.  Owen just laughed at her (I may or may not have let a few laughs out as well, I'm sorry Gator, but the drama was just too much) and I didn't know how to help her.  Luckily Davis and his buddy were done at the resort, and they came down to give her a few tips.  It was awesome to watch Davis actually help her and encourage her.  The afternoon ended much better than it started and she was smiling instead of crying.
