Ski School
We woke up early for Ski School for Lucien and Jill.
Lucien was dropped off at the Children's Ski Center and Jill headed back to pick up her gear to go to her group lesson.
Jill learned basics of stopping and turning and using the magic carpet in the Zipper area using both sides of the tube. After lunch the group lesson for Jill took the chair lift for a green. It was quite difficult and Jill spent the rest of the afternoon working on skills on the Zipper area. Lucien was picked up and quite excited about his day which included spaghetti.
We had dinner with the Zuniga's at Rhoda's.

Taos New Mexico
After breakfast we made a quick stop to pick up some additional cold weather items and gas up. The kids had walkie talkies in hand to communicate. Before going to Taos Ski Valley we drove to see a bridge. We followed our friends, but after an icy experience by their vehicle we both turned around and decided today was not the day.
We checked into our room and went to get fitted for our ski gear that we would use the next day.
The area is beautiful with the way the sun dances on the mountains.
We enjoyed dinner together at Hondo Restaurant.

Road Trip
The day after Christmas we packed up and began driving west to New Mexico. Lucien was able to play with new toys in the backseat.
We stopped and stayed the night in Santa Fe where we met up with our friends the Zuniga's in the morning over breakfast.

We then took back to the road to get to our Taos Ski Valley our final destination to finish off the year. Our drive from Santa Fe to TSV was beautiful. The boys in both cars enjoyed chatting back using walkie talkies. As did the Moms and Dads using Beamer and Durango as call names.
That evening once we arrived and settled in we rented our ski equipment and enjoyed dinner with The Zuniga's.
