Dallas goes skiing!


Today was the day. Ace got Saturday off and we were able to take D skiing for his very first time. He was so excited to go and wear his "parka" and show the lift attendant his pass. It was adorable. The first run down was good. We got on the chair no worries. Then we got to the top where there was flat light and we all know how "well" they groom the hill sometimes and we hit a little bit of a big slope and he got scared. We made it down the first time with a lot of frustration all the way around. But then came the next run and the next run and he did really great. By the end of the day he was turning and burning. He can stop and start and semi skate etc. I would get tired and need a little stop for a minute and he would get impatient with me and want to go. Finally he would say to me, "Are you ready to rock and roll?!" And then we were off again. He did awesome. It was so great to be back on the hill and with my family enjoying time with them. It doesn't matter if it was the aspen all day, it was great. The funny thing was he kept asking us for more and more runs down and then when we got home he rode his bike for awhile. I mean does this kid stop? What a great day!
