Skiing!

From this picture, can you tell I'm a little behind on blog posts? No snow on the ground now!

A couple of weeks ago, we went skiing at Chestnut Mountain in Galena. My siblings and I went skiing back in December for first time in 9 years. It came back to us pretty quickly, and Melody and I decided we needed to make a return trip!

We're not experts, but we were much more confident this time.

A good number of friends went that day making it extra fun!

Greg and Dad
It was a lovely day! The sun was shining, and the temperatures were fairly warm.
Looking across the Mississippi River into Iowa.
With so many friends there, we never lacked for company on the ride back up the slope on the ski lift.
This was the first time the Kalebaugh girls had ever been skiing, and they did great!
Crystal, Becky, and Mel
Melody and Rachel
The camera wouldn't take a picture at first, and Melody finally had to come to stop right in front of me. It was kind of her not to run me over. ;)

Rach
There were no major mishaps, and a fun time was had by all!

That looks like so much fun! Our family really enjoys skiing too. February is our designated "ski" month! ;)

Good fun! I love skiing - as long as I get to stay on the easy/medium hills!
