Second Ski Trip for Tay/My Little Princess????????

We went back to Cokeville for Taylor's fourth grade second ski trip. This was so much fun because all the kids learned how to ski last week so this week, they were all on the lift and the hill. It was TWENTY SEVEN DEGREES BELOW ZERO before we left WITHOUT the wind chill. (They don't cancel school here for anything!!!) One hour into skiing, we had one girl with frostbite on her ear. There was a little breeze at the top of the lift so add that windchill to the negative degrees-IT WAS COLD!!! You know how kids are though, they still had a blast. By the time we left, they said it was ten degrees at the top of the hill. I don't know if that was below zero or not, but I'm sure it was. I spent a lot of time in the lodge this time pulling boots off of frozen feet for the kids. They definately came in and warmed up more this time.

Here is Tay coming down the hill. After one run down the hill, the kids had to come in and warm up before going out and up again. Tay was so cold! Check out the rosy cheeks! If you look closely, there is ice on her hair where she breathed on it.

Four pairs of socks didn't even keep the piggies warm. They were so red when she came into the lodge. Several kids shed tears as their toe numbness wore off and they were able to feel the sting. OUCH!!!

I was able to ride the lift to the top with Tay and her friend. I took pictures on the way down. It was beautiful and COLD!

Taylor and her friend on the lift. Dont' they look cute and COLD?

Is this my new princess? Poor kid, it was bound to happen someday with a girly girl of a sister.

Tay has always wanted a little sister! "Enough dad says, go take it off!!!"
