So the kids and I have skied a couple of times since the last post. We went again today. As we were skiing down having some fun, Carter crashed and created a new mound of snow with his butt. We didn’t think too much about it and kept skiing… Carter came down the same hill and hit his butt indentation, now a small jump, and crashed again!
Carter is known for his daredevil desire, so what happened next was no surprise. Carter proceeds to fly down the hill and hit the jump… again… with what I think was the full intention of taking off. He hit the jump and crashed for a third time still with a big smile! Tough kid!!
Undeterred, Carter raced up again to the top of the hill, and I got this one on film!
I was amazed he actually landed it!!!
Lilly, having watched Carter go over the jump three times, was well aware of how to approach it. I sat with my fingers crossed to see how Lilly would do, and I got her on video too!!
I was amazed at how Lilly did on her first try!
Ayla was right at my side, and I asked her to stay there as I went over and talked to Lilly. I congratulated Lilly, and explained I was nervous for her!
When I was done talking with her, I turned around to see Ayla walking over to the jump and wanting so badly to do it as well!! That’s my girl! I had to let her try!!
I laughed so hard and was thrilled at how dang cute she was. Yea for Ayla!
After that, the kids learned how to turn. As this is the first official day of learning how to turn, I am very impressed!
What a WONDERFUL day!! Finished up with some delicious hot chocolate and everyone in the car had ear to ear smiles talking about their jumps, crashes, turns, and snowballs! I just love being a dad!!
