Fourth Grade Ski Trip

Blythe and the other fourth grade students and Rock Canyon Elementary got to go skiing today.  They were supposed to go in December but we didn't have enough snow, so their trip was postponed until now.  They left right after school started and rode the bus to Sundance.  It was a gloriously beautiful day, sunny and not too cold.  It was Blythe's first time doing downhill skiing, and she said it was hard at first.  But it got easier, and the tow-rope was really fun.  She told me her ski boots squished her toes, like air was being squeezed out of them and they were losing circulation.  She received some instruction from Alison, who was very nice, and who told her how to do pizza (toes in), french fries (skis parallel), and how to go downhill.  When I've asked for more details from Blythe, said said, "That's all we did.  We learned and then we did."  Mrs. Harrington, Blythe's teacher, sent me two pictures, and I'm glad to have them.
