Kids have had quite a few teacher work days this month which were gratefully spent at the ski resorts in Garmisch. Hausberg lodge is a U.S. facility and attracts lots of Americans from near and far. We live ridiculously close to it, it's like a 5 minute drive. And I still have not managed to get out to ski! But I have managed to take some pictures there. Scott and I both had one of the twins on our backs, so the only athletes showing off their talent were David and Nadia. They were amazing! They ski so much better than I will ever do (if I ever do.) So, introducing you our own Alpine Ski champions!
I saw for myself, now much effort it takes to bring all your gear, get it out of the car, put it and snap it on correctly, wait in line for a tow-rope, hold on tight to ski up hill before you actually feel the excitement and exilaration flying back down. And I thought getting babies ready for a walk was hard, geesh, not even close.
And there he goes. I can't believe my little guy can do it all by himself!

Nadia is cautious and graceful. I would probably ski right under the rope and lose my grip in the process. And she's doing it while posing, talking and joking. How did she learn all this stuff without me? I have to admit, they've got some good teachers out there somewhere besides me.
And she is back down. Great job, baby girl!
