Best Pizza Slices Evah

I took the kids skiing to Shawnee Peak in Maine for the long weekend, and it was a blast. It was a long trip up, but we had the benefit of staying at my sister's awesome house up there. Overall, it was probably one of the most fun vacations we have had together and that includes two trips to Disney World.

The kids' skiing ability was amazing. They happily took on any challenge presented to them. We tackled greens, blues and even an occational black diamond [caveat - Shawnee's black diamonds are hardly mogul-filled cliffs, but rather green, blue and black are differentiated by degrees of steepness]. The kids just employed their pizza-slice skiing stance, and zig-zagged their way down the hill. Even when we took a black trail that was too steep and they fell a lot, they laughed it off. I, on the other hand, was able to ski off to the side, let them get ahead, and still enjoy the run. It was the best of all worlds. I don't think there was a section of the mountain that we didn't attack together. Their behavior was exemplary. There was no crying, whining, or frankly a discouraging word on the slopes. I was amazed. I really look forward to future skiing trips.
