We made a trip up to the cabin and took Jake out skiing for the first time. Mia stayed back with Papa and Tutu, so we were able to spend the day with our guy...lots of fun. He was REALLY excited about the whole thing. We were worried that once we got out there, he wouldn't want to do it. But he was rearing to go the whole time! The only thing he was bummed about was that he didn't get to snowboard or ride the "flying seat" (chair lift). He must have said "But Mommy, I really, really, really want a snowboard" about 100 times while we waited in line for our lift tickets. The people in front of us were ready to give him their snowboards for some silence ;) We rode the magic carpet or "magic floor" as Jake called it.....more modern version of the rope tow.....wow, SO much better! Brian and I both took turns with him and we used a harness to try and help teach him. He seemed to be getting the hang of it, but would get lazy sometimes and just flop like a rag doll.......of course he just laughed every time he fell. We were somewhat amazed that he didn't whine.....it was cold, the lines were long, and he could have had legitimate things to complain about....but he didn't! We were pleasantly surprised! Fun memories from this day!
