Swimming

The kids got assessed and due to their great swimming skills were able to move up levels, Corben is now in level 8 out of 10 and Mason is in level 7.  

Mason is 100 years old

For the 100th day of school, all 1st graders dressed up like old ladies 

Caleb even made a cane for her

Kathleen Shooting Lesson

I took a shooting lesson with a friend and my new handgun. The instructor taught me some new stance techniques and my aim improved significantly. First I shot in the orange and then he put a black oval at the top of the orange and I was then hitting it every time with my new skills.  Yay!  Much more practice needed, but it was good to shoot my gun and learn more about my gun.

Swimming

The kids started swimming. Corben will finish 2 months and Mason plans to stay on and have swimming be her sport for the Spring 

They swim indoors in a heated pool.  They have to go through all the levels and are really improving their strokes and techniques.

Ski Day at China Peak

Driving up to China Peak was a lot different this time....so much snow!! 

Shaver Lake view 

 

Behind us is Huntington Lake which is completely covered by snow 

Kids went to their ski lesson while we skied a bit 

Watching the kids ski down at the end of their lesson 

We took the kids out of school and went on a Wednesday...they had a lesson with one instructor and no other kids!  Great lesson! 

Lunch break 

Love this picture of Caleb with the kids 

We let them go on the bunny hill a few times....notice their poles!! 

They loved skiing in the sun with the blue skies.

Then we went up the mountain with them...they did a few runs and few different chair lifts!  (They each lost a pole on the chair lifts, but someone behind a few seats brought it to them) 

Corben skied by Kathleen and tried to follow by turns, but really likes going down straight and fast 

Mason in front of Caleb, she really worked on her turns and making "s" shapes

The drive home, we made it without chains 

Another great day of skiing in the books.
