Last minute ABQ trip

We just got back from visiting Stu and Cat in Albuquerque and as usual had a great time!  We decided to take the kids last minute to Sandia to try out skiing for the day.  Darin and I went into it with very low expectations: Drew really is too young and Ryan is very cautious and likes to know she can do something before she tries it.  And it went about like we expected.....lots of tears and we only lasted a couple of hours.  It wasn't a total bust because they LOVED playing in the snow and we found out they weren't ready to plan a whole ski trip with yet!  We decided we would try again in a couple of years when they can both go to ski school.

 On our way...Still excited!

 Starts snowing, the wind picks up and the temp drops to 16 degrees....the odds were against us at this point

Drew man has no idea what is going on

 She wouldn't look at me bc she was still mad

 
*Sorry for the missing pictures of  them attempting to ski (crying, screaming and going limp noodle) because I was busy consoling my children.
