Spencer learned to ski this year, and absolutely had a blast. I never new it would be such a success. He has been with his grandpa Mark every time. He skis between his legs and is still working on just getting confident on the hill (which is obviously not going to be a problem). While we were up in Snowbird Spence woke up every morning and asked for grandpa, and wanted to put on his "big shoes" and "go keeing" as he so eloquently put it. His grandpa is his new favorite ski partner.
Grandpa is teaching Spencer how to balance on skis. He told him to hold out his arms like an airplane
Spence couldn't figure out the lift at first. But he loved to laugh at the people falling on the hill. He would say, "Bawmpa, blue down!" when he saw someone in a blue coat fall, and then he would laugh hysterically. He got some great practice at his colors.
They went out on a really snowy day. We thought Spence would be intimidated by the snow, or get super cold. He loved the snow. He was bundled up like a little snow bunny and he loved that the snow covered his skis. What a trooper!!
