Our Newest Little Ski Bunny

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.




I am so EXCITED to get out on the hill!!!

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!!

Grandpa is having the time of his life

All tuckered out after a long day of skiing

Erika, It looks like you guys had such a fun time at Snowbird! Spencer looks like a natural. Afterall, he does come from the Reichman family! Loved seeing you the other week. Let's do it soon! If you hear about Marg, please let me know!

Erika, I'm so glad you left me a comment, I was just thinkingabout you the other day, and that I hadn't talked to you in a while. Looks like your having all sorts of fun, and expecting another little one. We should play, call me. I also need to be reminded of where you live, we are looking for a house again. Our place is for sale.

It was so good to hear from you,
Kerrah
