Skiing

This was almost a month ago. I can't believe it. March 28th we went skiing with Bracken's side of the family. We decided to have Hayes try skiing and we brought Kamri along too. Man it was a lot of work getting everything, bundling everyone up and getting on the slopes but it was so fun watching Hayes go down the hill. He has no fear. I was more scared going down the hill the first time (it's been awhile) than he was. Of course he did have Bracken holding onto him...him maybe I'll have to try that next time...
Kamri and I stayed at the bottom of the slope and watched everyone come down, then Kristin & Telly watched Kamri so we could go together with Hayes. Then I went out for a few runs and went with my 6 year old niece Livi. She saw me fall when I got off the lift the first time so when I went up with her she was reassuring me that it really wasn't that hard to get off the lift and I shouldn't be scared. It was so cute. and then when I got off successfully she was cheering me on. "See! You did it! I knew ya could!" So funny! Then she wanted to race and took off. Man I need to brush up on my skiing skills before I hit the slopes with Longhurst kids...it's in their blood!
All bundled up!Doesn't he look so excited?! Now that the ski's are actually on he decided he was excited!
This was his first run down. Bracken tried holding him in between his legs but Hayes asked him to put him to Bracken's side. He was smiling the whole way down.The next time down the slope Bracken would let go every once in awhile for Hayes to go on his own. He crashed a few times but he still loved it!



Kamri loved rolling around in the snow. Rolling was about all she could do all bundled up!

Hayes is a natural - - it really is amazing how the big grin comes when a pair of sticks is attached to a Longhurst's feet!

Wow - what horrible English! I meant "are" attached!
