Ryan and I joined them on the mountain around lunch time to watch their progress. Ryan believes that he went "roller skating in his boots". For some reason he thinks that skiing is the same as roller skating!
Unfortunately for Emma and Philip, her very first run (10 feet) off the ski lift ended with a very nasty crash. Philip took great care of her and was successful in getting her confidence back up and they both tackled the mountain many more times with. By the very end of the day, she didn't want to stop. I can't believe that I packed everything imaginable in their packs for the day except childrens' Motrin and the ski shop doesn't sell it. Mental note---always bring your own childrens' drugs when you go skiing.
Peter headed down the slope and hardly stopped until they dragged him off at the end of the day. He and Papa were a perfect team. Peter even went on the 1 mile slope with Philip twice and was begging for more. Although the day turned out to be great, it was still missing something....Uncle Peter! We missed Uncle Pete this year as he has been recently deployed to Iraq to protect the freedoms that we often take so easily for granted. Thanks Pete; we sure missed you.

Did you take advantage of the great opportunity to teach Emma how to swallow pills? I see adults regularly who can't (or, more accurately, won't...).
Funny- that's your comment....I did mention to Philip, "maybe I should call you and see if it's safe to give her a half a tablet or so..." but she actually wasn't really complaining much.
My poor Emma's face makes me hurt!!Very glad to hear it din't stop her. Can't wait to see the videos. You go Peter!
