We headed up to New Hampshire early Monday morning for some skiing. We stopped first at Pat's Peak, the last place we skied last season. It was just as we remembered. We didn't know how much the kids would remember, but it seemed to come back to them pretty quickly.
We spent the morning on the bunny slope and after lunch went up on the lift to the top of the mountain. Liliana skied all the way down each time by herself (often singing "Marry Poppins" songs"). Lucas loved riding the lift and was happy to go down the mountain holding one of our hands.
We left the mountain as the sun started to set and then it was off to the pool while Felix picked up dinner (pizza and Chinese)
I always see these scenes on tv where the parents are reading to their kids at night and the kids just fall asleep. That never happens in our house. But after a whole day of skiing and an hour and a half in the pool and hot showers, after dinner, they didn't even make it through Dr. Seuss.
The next day it was off to Sunapee, a larger mountain, but one with a large learning area. This one is nice because the learning area for the beginners is separate from the area where people are taking lessons. No one was there!

It was really cold on New Year's Eve (maybe that is why no one was around!) So after lunch and just a few hours skiing, we packed it up and headed home. Never even made it to midnight. Welcome 2014! Can't wait to ski some more!
