Kinsley's 1st Trip Skiing

 We took Kinsley {age 4} skiing for her very first time.  We were worried how she would act (sometimes she likes to whine and is a tad over emotional) but we were pleasantly surprised.  She LOVED it! 

 She spent her first few runs crouched down like this but then learned to stay balanced standing up straight.

 When Kinsley showed this video to her grandparents she said, "I was so strong.  I was able to pull my big fat daddy down the mountain." Ummm.... we need to work on different adjectives.

 We had to stop and spend a few minutes in the lodge.... more for the sake of Eric than for mine or Kinsley's.  She is wearing her "I'm snow cute" shirt just for spending the day in the snow.

 Kinsley is excited to go again and says her favorite part of skiing was "Hitting the huge ginormous jumps and flying really high!"

 Eric says his favorite part was "stopping."  =)  Next year, perhaps, we will put her in ski school.

Fire Station

 We took our preschool class on a field trip to the Declo Fire Station.  A lot of them weren't able to make it because we've had the sickies going around our class.  The students that were able to make it had a great time and the firefighters did a great job explaining/showing things. 

  The kids dressed up in the firefighter's uniforms.

Each student got the opportunity {and multiple opportunities after that} to honk the horn and ring the siren.  I had a headache for the rest of the day.

 How many preschoolers can you fit in a fire truck???....  You would be surprised.  =)

 Aila wasn't a fan of the noise {kids screaming, fire sirens, fire truck horn, etc.}.  The other kids however, had a BLAST!!!
