Snow

Tim's family always comes out in February for there annual ski trip. They have always wanted to take Ian but I have always said "no way." After talking with a few of my students that are big skiers and getting some of their input as well, I decided this year he would be ok to go with mom supervision. Grandpa and Grandma MacNair got him his first pair of skies and of course he thought they were awesome!

No don't think that just because it is winter does not mean that you can enjoy a good bowl of ice cream. If Tim's dad is here we know that there need to be Aggie French Vanilla ice cream in stock. Ian doesn't seem to mind it to much either.

First thing was to just do a little practicing in getting used to the skies. So we rented some ski boots for Ian and everyone got in there snow gear (except Aaron and I) and headed out front.


After a half hour of skiing Ian decided it would be much more fun to just play in the snow. The Jeppesen's came outside as well and everyone worked together to build a new snowman.

Aaron slept majority of the time Ian was skiing and playing. Just like with Ian, Pike loves sleeping by Aaron (or nearly ontop of him).
When he woke up we bundled up and headed outside as well.Then he slept a little more.

The next day we took Aaron to my parents house and the rest of us including Hunter headed up to Beaver. You have to click on this picture. Ian has the biggest grin on his face. He loved it!
While Hunter and I were watching Hunter decided to climb up what I would consider a mountain.

Tim and his mom stayed at Beaver the rest of the afternoon and got in a few more runs.

Hunter and I brought Ian home and picked up Aaron from my parents. Then headed home got in our pj's and had some hot chocolate.
Ian has been begging to go skiing ever since. Looks like at some point I may need to pick up snow skiing again. Burrrrrrrr!
