Cascade Weekend

Luke has been studying the map of the runs at Cascade.  He has been planning which chairlift he will take to what run.  He has been comparing Wisconsin hills to the highest chairlift in Europe and the longest run in Europe.  Eva was excited to finally ski for the first time.  She did great and went all the way to the top of the hill on the chairlift.  She had great balance and made it through varying snow conditions really well.  She did cry when she lost her ski on the chair lift.  Everyone watching raced to her rescue and handed her ski up to the next person in line.  Luke was so happy after skiing all the runs he had planned.  He said it was the best day ever.




 We stayed at the Wilderness with all the cousins.  We were able to swim twice a day in addition to the skiing.  The kids favorite part was the outdoor hot tub.  The would run from the 104 degree water to the 3 degree air and watch the seam roll off their body.  Papa called it the Eva Steamer, Luke Steamer, and Boden Steamer.  Eva of course added a twirl and leap every time.
