Kevin Skiing

The pictures and movies were from Saturday. Kevin skied up to me then away from me. He would not let me take a picture of the fall where he did a spread eagle or a face plant. It was a very sunny day and he had gotten very hot so falling was one way to cool off. He also ditched the coat and helmet and only wore a sweatshirt and sunglasses. We stopped to take a snack break in a teepee along the slope, this is where the ditching of clothes began. I felt the inside of his coat and it was very warm indeed.













On Sunday it was another story entirely. It had snowed a ton and in our infinite wisdom we took him to the top of the mountain where there was even more snow and it was even colder and windier and we got what we probably deserved, a child that was very reluctant to go down. It started out okay but by the time we got to the top things were falling apart rather quickly. i got him down a steep part of the slope and then Brian got him down the rest of the way to a lodge where he ate pizza, of course, and warmed up. By then I came in and was beat from having skied a few runs by myself. it was awesome but tiring. So I took Kevin on down further. By the time we got to the run that he liked to do "Why Not" the wind had really picked up. It was blowing in his face quite hard in places to the point even his skin was red. but he made it down. They hadd shut down a lot of the lifts and the gondola due to wind. But he got through it. Afterwards as he was lounging in the backseat watching tv on the way home he said he really enjoyed relaxing that way. (lounging, tv) I suggested that was because he had worked so hard on the slopes and he agreed.
