Alexa's 2nd Ski Trip! (Feldberg)


Here is Alexa at her ski school.  We had her all outfitted and ready to go and she declared
that she didn't want to ski!  Ugg!!  So, we did what any parents would do...we turned to bribery.
We sat there feeding her chocolate bits every time she went up the slope
just to keep her from a melt down.  She'd come down the slope, we'd pop chocolate
into her mouth as she passed us, then she'd go up the ski belt and
start the process over again...for hours!  It started
out rough but ended great and she did two days of 'skiing'. 
She is a cautious skiier and sometimes
goes so slow she gets stuck....but it's a start.  We were very proud of her!









Close Up Shots on the Swings!

This is a series of pictures from October (Almost 4 yrs old).
She learned to pump her legs all by her self just a few months prior so
this was an exciting time!!




Alexa (3.9 yrs) when she got her New Kitchen

Daddy helped put it together so Alexa wrote him a note and sent
him this picture since he was traveling when she got this great surprise

Alexa's First Ski Event in Davos (Swiss Alps)




She rocked the goggles and helmut!




So cute in her little ski suit with skiis!





It wasn't ALL fun and games!  When she was done,
she was done and what a terror she became!

10 kids on a trampoline and no injuries - amazing!



This jumping thing was the hit of the party!
  As were Jon and Shane jumping on it and popping the kids up like pop corn!








Even the adults had fun!
