Our Snow Adventure

We took Jaden and Baylee to Shirley Meadows last Saturday and had so much fun! I never expected that Jaden would be able to snowboard, much less be pretty darn good at it. It completely shocked me because unlike my very coordinated child, I was nicknamed "Bambi" in school for obvious, snow related reasons. Baylee, I think, took after me. Anyway, Jaden absolutely loved it! Here he is after his lesson feeling very cool for making it all the way down the hill, and having been "up in the sky" yelling at all of the little people down below. He was with the snowboarding instructor for an hour and it was one of the funnest "parent" moments for us yet. He just amazed us and had so much fun. Baylee on the other hand, went down a very small hill in a tube one time, screamed the entire way down and refused to do it again. She got off of it before she had made it all the way to the bottom and started running back up the hill (as best she could as bundled as she was) screaming, "Mommy! Mommy! No!" It was so sad, but awfully funny. If I hadn't been so embarrassed, it would have been hysterical. Someone nearby grabbed her and started running with her the other way so she didn't get plowed by the next person coming down, which made her more upset. Needless to say, it wasn't her best day. When we talk about it she always says the same thing, "That no was cold!" no = snow. =) Anyway, we had a great time, but next time we will just take J! Tony has banned Baylee from the "no" until she is 5. :)
