Ski Trip, Day 2 (a little late!)
Greetings from the lodge at Winterplace! Day 2 of the trip marked the kick-off of a ski fest that will last until Sunday night. On Friday, we enjoyed day of great weather and light crowds, which was great for our first time skiers.
Sojo and Adelaide learned to ski thanks to Carlsen's Ski School:
At last report, they graduated from Bunny Slope to Green Slopes and are now tackling their first blue runs, proving that Carlsen's instruction is worth every penny (and would be even if it weren't free!).
We enjoyed some lunch in the lodge before hitting the slopes in the afternoon:
Boots drying by the fire, getting ready for night skiing:
And, in honor of her 14th birthday today and Casey's 16th birthday last Friday, Adelaide and I made some cakes (without measuring cups!), which we'll enjoy tonight:
More updates later tonight. Happy Saturday, everyone!

Ski Trip, Day 1!
We had a picture perfect start to the 2011 Ski Trip...great travel weather, an incredible group, and clear roads. We made it to Winterplace, WV at around 4pm, checked into our lovely accommodations at Glade Springs, then headed to get our ski rental equipment. Some highlights from the day:
We helped Adelaide start the celebration of her 14th birthday with the HONK! game. Every time a fellow motorist honked, Adelaide got to open a birthday present! It was a really fun game thanks to some honk-happy drivers.
Checking in at Winterplace:
And eating a delicious dinner:
The view from the kids' table:
And finally, a whirlwind video of the whole gang before dinner. Now, we're settling in for a restful night and a weekend full of fun, snow, and the kind of cold weather that makes me glad we live in Charleston!
