Skiing!!

As I mentioned before, Bryon and I gave Kai ski boots for Christmas, to go with the $2 eighties skis I got him at a garage sale this summer.

We've already gotten out a couple of times and our little guy has proved himself to be an excellent skier!

We started by practicing inside, and he apparently thought the boots made better gloves :)

Then we moved on to the backyard.  Notice the styling ski outfit!  I was too lazy to take off his boots and put on his snowsuit after we'd been practicing inside, so I just threw on his jacket and tuque.  Sorry Kai!

Getting ready for their first father-son ski trip to Schweitzer!

Bryon said that Kai was a complete trooper on the mountain.  He kept his goggles on, road the chairlift like a champ (until they told Bryon that Kai was too little to be on the lift), skiied three runs with Bryon holding him under the armpits and even skiied a bit on his own!!  That's my boy!  So so proud :)

It was kind of hard for Bryon to take a picture of Kai skiing while still trying to help Kai stay on track, so this is the best we've got!  Too bad I was home sick.  Next time we'll get better pictures I promise.
