Kyla's first time on the chairlift!

Worn out from a long day of skiing

We spent the night playing puzzles and games in the hotel room

We had a great weekend at the Alyeska Hotel! Jon, Kyla and I had a weekend full of skiing and eating out at good restaurants. Kyla did really well skiing and it was the first time that she has skiied with me. Usually she skis with Jon and he skis down backwards in front of her. I do not ski backwards so I was skiing next to her and she was doing great. Our first day skiing the weather was really nice so we were able to do several runs, but the second day was really cold and we spent more time in the lodge taking ski breaks. On day 2 of skiing Jon decided he wanted to take Kyla on the chairlift! They ended up skiing two runs on the lift. She liked going on the lift, but the runs were much longer and had much steeper spots on them so she had to ski down between Daddys legs for part of it.

Kyla also got to visit with her friend Eli at Alyeska and meet his new little sister Ali. She has not seen him in several months and after we left she said "where is my other frind Eli?", I told her that this was her only friend named Eli. She was still convinced that this was not the same Eli and said "He must be on the mountain skiing". Her friend Eli is not even 3 yet and was riding the tram and to the top of the mountain and skiing down the entire mountain mostly by himself. Kyla will no longer be able to ski with him until she gets a lot more practice.
