Born to Ski

Or at least Dad says he was. Steve decided, after his wife :) failed to love skiing, that at least his kids would love it. Ryan hit the slopes, or should we say hills, of Michigan for his first try a few weeks ago. So far... Daddy's mission accomplished! He did great...loved it... and had a pro to keep him off the ground!



The 3 Amigos... Steve, Jim and Ryan bundle up.







A ride on the "magic carpet"... beats a tow rope any day, huh?











On the bunny hill.... skiing to Daddy. He started off pulling him, Steve skiing backwards, then moved to having Ryan between his legs, then to Ryan skiing to him. He was so much braver than his mom :)! Good thing he started early!
Whoooooaaa.... here he comes, and there was a smile under that coat too! He even turned to miss hitting someone. Mommy is impressed!!! And Daddy super pleased! I had to leave to get Steve's parents... Steve and Jim promised they'd be on the bunny hill the whole time.... Hmmm... how did Ryan get to ride in a chairlift then? :) Guess he did great on the green hills too! Skiing buddies! Look at the smile on Steve's face! After just a few hours, he's convinced that Ryan is hooked for life! We'll see!
