Who knew that our boys would love snow sports the way they do. We took a trip to Utah this past week. We did a lot of work and the boys were very patient with all that we had to do. They even had to fit in a dentist trip while we there. So we promised that we could take them skiing and snowboarding during the trip.
Our last night there, I was very tired and not really wanting to live up to the promises made. But Jaime was fairly forceful that we needed to do this. I was not the happiest camper, but as I will explain below, I was proven wrong in my pessimism.
We got all the gear together and headed up the hill. We got there, rented some equipment, signed Jonas up for a snowboarding lesson and headed to the lift. I took Carson with me thinking he woould last 1 run and be done. This is where I became very surprised; this kid was built for football but took to skiing like stink takes to poop. It was amazing. I will post the video later when time permits, but needless to say, Carson has found a new love. After the 1st run down, he wanted to be all by himself. He loved racing down the hill and even once he raced right by me.
Jonas did great at snowboarding but still might have a bruise on his butt from a few hard falls. I have to admit that snowboarding is harder to learn than skiing and I am proud of him trying so hard.
