Cross-Country Skiing

Last Friday while Annaliese was at school, Kyle and I dropped Haleigh and Lydia off with Auntie Kelsey and headed up to Salmon Ridge Sno-Park to try out our cross-country skies. The weather forecast predicted rain but we knew that if we didn't go, it would probably be awhile before we would have the opportunity to go again. It drizzled a little bit, but overall was a pretty good day! 

There were quite a few waterfalls along the way!

I am not very good at skiing and struggled to go up even the smallest up-hills! While the skis are partly to blame, I'm pretty sure my lack of skill also contributed a bit. Kyle had to help push me up because I kept sliding back down...it was one 'step' up, two 'steps' back! My whole body was sore for several days- I'm pretty sure I was using every muscle to help me get where I needed to be:) 

In the end, we both had fun and definitely want to go again. We are hoping to get the girls on skis soon too! Thanks Dad and Mom G. for sending us the skis and motivating us to get out and enjoy the snow!
