Ski Day at Muju


As it is winter here, the next few post will represent some of the fun activities that we participate in during these months. One day over Christmas vacation we went to Muju a ski resort about 1 hour from Daejeon. My Mom was gracious enough to keep Ethan so that Darren and Kacy could ski and I could help Sara as she took her first ski lessons. That sure did make life much easier.



So, we got up early and headed down to Muji. Sara's lessons weren't until the afternoon so she and I headed to the sledding hill while Darren and Kacy hit the slopes. I was pretty sure I could take some good pictures of Sara sledding, until we got there and they said that it was "too scary" for her and I needed to go sledding with her. This was definitely not what I had in mind! :) However, off we went. Sara of course did not want to go on the smaller of the two hills so we did the "big hill" multiple times. I put on my brave coat and screamed the whole way down...Sara loved it.



After some lunch Sara had her first ski lesson. She did great and was on the lift and skiing down...instructor with her very quickly. The instructor came up to me about 2/3's of the way through and told me that Sara was doing great, but wouldn't stop...he said she likes speed. I was trying to explain to Sara how to stop when he said...she knows how to stop and can, but she won't...so then we had to have a lesson in obedience and not how to slow yourself down.
