We went on a quick 3 day, 2 night vacation this week. Quite last minute, I decided it would be fun to try out skiing. Some friends of ours had taken there kids to a resort in VA and had a blast. I showed Erik a video of his friend skiing and he was quite certain that he wanted to try that too. So, lucky boy that he is, actually got to give it a whirl!
We went to RoundTop ski resort in PA. We met Mike, Sonja, Jamison, and Silas there too. We spent part of two days skiing. The first day Erik, Lainey, and I skied while Victor watch the two little boys. The next day we met up with the rest of the Chen family. We toured Hershey's center. We made our own candy bars which was fun. That night we left the three youngest with Sandy in the hotel room. (We asked Lainey if she wanted to ski again but she said she wanted to stay with Grandma instead.)
Erik really, really got the hang of skiing the second day. He'd gone on the chair lift with me the first day but never managed to make it down the (small) mountain without falling. The second day he was zipping down the mountain, way faster than me. While he was going fast he still seemed to have fairly good control as he definitely knew where he wanted to go and got there. He had a blast and so did Victor and I!
I had only downhill skied once before in my life and never made it onto a chairlift. Haha! Victor had skied before but it had been 20 years.
The next morning we went tubing and then headed home after lunch. It was a quick but fun trip!
