The Canyons

Last week, we were able to vacation up at the Canyons with Grandpa Thorne for a week at the Silverado Lodge. All of us had a great time there, but we were all exhausted when we arrived home!

Caleb was in ski school for four days. He was able to go on each level each day. First level was red, then he was yellow on the next day, and then green. Right now, Caleb is on blue, so that means he could ski all the blue runs. Last year, he was stuck on red for the whole week, but we were surprised to see that he went through all four levels within a week this year. He's skiing pretty well and he skies just like Josh. Josh didn't want to take any classes this year, but hopefully next year he would.

Timothy took a snowboarding class for one day. Funny thing is that Brady and I snowboard way much better than Timothy does. We haven't taken any classes this year, but I'm sure Timothy will catch up in no time when we become old farts. Brady is pretty fast at snowboarding, but he hasn't learned any new skills like I did. I am able to snowboard both left and right (goofy and regular) and do 360 turns on the ground, but I'm not as quick as Brady.

It was obvious that our skills had improved since last year, it was only a few years ago when Brady and I had thought that we might never snowboard in our lives, but we were grateful that we took this opportunity to learn.

Can't wait to go back again until next year!
