He's a Skier

Blake loves everything about the snow. I mentioned to Chad that he should take Blake skiing sometime this winter. Blake overheard the conversation and has been begging to go ever since. One of the perks of me having a job where I do, is that I have access to corporate ski passes, this makes it much easier to take a 6 year old skiing when it's already paid for.

Thursday we let Blake ditch school and head up to the slopes. The plan was for Chad and Blake to go try things out and then I would meet them up there for lunch and then bring Blake home... hoping he would last a half day. When I got up to the resort Blake was so excited to show me his skills! He was doing great. Chad was sending him down the hills all by himself. I thought for sure he would have been coming down between Chad's legs. I guess he's a natural! He could even get off the chair lift without falling...something I still can't do!

After lunch I told Blake it was time to leave, that way Chad could have a half day to actually enjoy his ski day. That did not go over well and Blake refused to come home with me. He was not done skiing. So I left them thinking they would be home shortly after me. Well to my surprise they stayed until the lifts closed! Blake had a blast and keeps asking when he can go again.
