Well, first we had to go to lunch at Logan's where we can throw peanuts on the floor.. then we had a little shopping to do (you will see why in the next post), then we went to the slopes.
Once we finally made our way to the bunny hill - (walking in skis is very hard when you are 7 or even 27) we went up the rope without any incidents and after we got to the top I wasn't sure what Cole was going to think ... he crossed his ski's in a typical snowplow maneuver and I gave him a little push and off he went, he made it a little ways down the hill before he piled up.. I was sure this was the end of the skiing trip but I was wrong, after I picked him up he went down a bit farther this time he piled up with his legs spilling every which way (his skis and boots were so heavy that when he fell he couldn't get up - needless to say I am slightly sore from picking him up more times than I can count) but he did discover that he could go down the hill on his butt, kindof squatted down but on his skis.. that worked out for a few trips, then we worked on going down standing up... he made 2 successful trips down 1/2 of the hill on his feet before we were both exhausted and in need of some hot cocoa...
I guess you will have to ask him if he wants to go skiing again, but he told me he did - with some lighter and smaller skis :-) here are some photos of the fun
