Fun in the Snow!

Dave has been wanting to take the kids up on the mountain this spring. Today was the day. The weather was perfect and we killed two birds with one stone. Rosi, our friend from Mexico is visiting us this week and she has never before seen the snow, especially this close. We picked Dave up from work and headed up to Brighton. We got the kids in their snowboarding clothes and off we went. Dave took Leah up first while Mylo patiently waited his turn down at the bottom of the lift. Leah loved going on the lift the most. Her and Rosi had a snowball fight and Rosi had a fight with the snow herself as she slipped a couple of times. We had a good laugh. Mylo was impressive since he would get going on his board and take a jump and then keep boarding down. The kid is OBSESSED with anything that has to do with skate boards and snow boards. He is very passionate about that. Here's a few pictures of the kids, Dave and Rosi. I was a the camera person... I also enjoyed falling a couple of times... so fun!!! (you can click on the picture to make it larger, if you wish)

Ethan wants to go snowboarding soooo bad! We had a couple people tell us to wait until he's 6 though. I guess not...? How old did you start your kids at?

Leah was 2 and Mylo also at 2. Mylo is more of a natural and he has a big desire. We will put Leah in some real classes next season. She needs the guidance from someone other than her parents. I think that will really help, we'll see?!?!

That looks like so much fun. I have never gone snowboarding and don't know the first thing about it, but I'm sure my kids would have fun. I just need someone who can teach them!

Looks like fun! It's so cute that Mylo wants to be just like his daddy!
