In Like a Lion

Yesterday at our ski lessons, March definitely came in like a lion...whiteout on the mountain and such heavy fog that you could barely see your hand in front of your face. And the wind was so strong it would almost stop you from going downhill...but after things cleared up, the fresh snow was really fun to ski in. Grace and I both had our final lessons of the season and she competed in the "cookie" race which meant she skied down a little slalom course and then received a cookie for her efforts. She also got a medal which she proudly wore to church this morning. Grace did great overall and has come so, so far in her skiing abilities. Brad was amazed last week when he went to watch her...she is so fast and can turn so well and seems to have no fear. I have a feeling she will soon be out skiing me!

Will spent the day with our friends while Grace and I skied. He had a total blast and loved all the attention he got from having four older kids around. They have three boys and he spent the day playing with hotwheels and hanging out with the big kids. They also took him to see their horses which he enjoyed. But the little prince missed the girly play themes of his sister...when he got back in the car after he saw Grace's purple sparkly hat, pointed at it, and then squealed in delight when he put it on his head!
