You have to do something fun in all this cold...

We decided to get the kids on the slopes this year.

I always loved skiing and snowboarding as a kid,

and we live 17 miles from a world class ski resort...

that has a GREAT, AFFORDABLE

ski program for local kids.

We actually started them out the week after Christmas

up at Wolf Mountain with Uncle Dave

& Aunt Carli.

They absolutely loved it and didn't want to get off the mountain.

Bryce sporting his little skis

and the edgy-wedgy,

of course.

But he probably won't need it for much longer.

He is already a great little skiier.

He can S-turn, go straight, make wedges,
keep out of peoples' way...
I hardly have to worry at all.

And Colton, started his Blaine County

Locals snowboarding lessons

on Saturday

with his instructor, Buddah

He is doing awesome.

He can carve down the whole mountain,

toes or heels,

without falling.

Four more weeks and he may pass his Mama up...

Ok, so maybe not this year,

but I have a feeling it won't be long.

Little Anna gets to observe with the camera man,

Daddy!

We'll get her on skis next year.

It is amazing how well they pick it up when they are young.

It almost seems totally natural.
