Coolidge Clan - Day 3

It was an early morning, where everyone packed up to go to the mountains to try this thing called skiing.  Graham had a rough start as his phone time didn't adjust to Alberta time, so they were up 1 hour before they had to. We all left the house at 7:30am to head to Lake Louise. 
The Torrent leading the pack, with the Caliber in the middle and the Passat last.

Don't worry, only the Passat understood the signs for purchasing a park pass... Blair drove right passed with Stuart following as he didn't know why Blair wasn't stopping. Oh well, I think they got away with it this time... (I am sure Blair wasn't too happy about misunderstanding which lane to be in).

We had a great time at Lake Louise! But I think Bailey had the most fun after being enrolled in ski school. Couldn't get her off the bunny hill once she had a "professional" teacher! After the 3rd time going down the hill with Grandpa, it was all by herself for 3 more times!

Jasper had a good first day, but the best part was likely the 2 hour nap on grandma after all that hard work.

As for us, Adam and I had some good runs! We helped Ashley get through the chairlift experience, she was a little freaked out when it stopped at the highest part and started swaying...a lot of screaming, but we made it through. Graham and Ashley had a great time, they were "pretty pro" by the end of the day but enjoyed the backside of the hill better than the front side. It was a long "last" run back to the base.

We all made it back to the condo, and had an excellent refuelling supper of spaghetti and meat sauce! A very relaxed evening of watching Go Pro videos from the day and watching movies on tv.  It's going to be an early night as we have to go to sunshine village bright and early for another day of skiing/snowboarding!
